☆ Don't expect 'immediate relief' from the Federal Reserve's first rate cut in years, economist says. Here's why

The federal funds rate, which the U.S. central bank sets, is the rate at which banks borrow and lend to one another overnight. Home loan rates have already started to fall, largely due to the prospect of a Fed-induced economic slowdown. Student loansFederal student loan rates are also fixed, so most borrowers won't be immediately affected by a rate cut. Eventually, borrowers with existing variable-rate private student loans may also be able to refinance into a less expensive fixed-rate loan, according to higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz.

By raising interest rates, the Fed hopes to rein in consumption and borrowing, which in turn should put downward pressure on prices. One area in which higher interest rates are taking a significant bite is housing. Bankrate's McBride laid out some financial advice Americans should keep in mind as interest rates climb.
