How higher interest rates bring down inflation.

 

The above graph shows a sharp drop in mortgage applications (to buy houses).  This is how the Federal Reserve is trying to reduce inflation:  by raising interest rates, they reduce demand for capital spending, e.g., equipment, cars, and houses, where you typically borrow to make the purchase. 

As demand for goods and services falls, their prices start falling as well.  From CalculatedRisk.com

Recently we've seen used car prices down over 10% and framing lumber prices down 33% 

Currently inflation is running close to 9%, and many expect the Fed to keep raising interest rates until the rate of annual price increases drops to around 2%.

  3. I always bought the idea of investing in cryptocurrency but I didn’t go through the right process and I lost all my money to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. I didn’t do enough research and I was scammed of my hard-earned money after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam. I made all efforts to get back my money but to no success, I contacted the authorities as well but they couldn’t do anything to recover my funds until I was told about Spyweb Cyber Security Services, a cryptocurrency recovery company that has helped other scam victims recover their funds. I contacted them immediately and provided all the necessary information needed to help them with their investigation. Spyweb Cyber Security Services was able to recover my cryptocurrency funds and was able to track down those scammers. I’m truly grateful for their reliable and professional service. Spyweb Cyber is the best approach if you want to recover your locked funds, and stolen cryptocurrencies. Their contact information is as follows
