When it comes to the Federal Reserve, things get extremely confusing. Essentially, they take care of the economy by setting interest rates that either expand or shrink the money supply. Since the Fed is technically a private company, the stock market trades on their “futures,” and the price on them just went negative. This is leading some to believe that the Fed may have to set negative interest rates to expand the money supply, making debt cheaper and easier to get for consumers. While it takes legitimate experts to dive into the nitty-gritty, we may have someone with the right knowledge to show you how this affects you. Today, we will be doing a video analysis from Meet Kevin about how the new interest rates will affect your money, your retirement, and your possible stimulus.
