As the federal funds rate rose, the prime rate did as well, and credit card rates followed suit. The average rates for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage "remain anchored north of 7%," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist. Already, the average rate for a HELOC is up to 9.12%, the highest in 22 years, according to Bankrate. Student loansFederal student loan rates are also fixed, so most borrowers aren't immediately affected by the Fed's moves. But undergraduate students who take out new direct federal student loans are now paying 5.50% — up from 4.99% in the 2022-23 academic year and 3.73% in 2021-22.

Higher yields on certificates of deposit are out there, but you'll have to venture beyond your favorite bank to get them. "There could be as much as a 50-basis point difference going to a brokered CD," he said. Brokered vs. bank offerings With a bank CD, the investor goes directly to the institution to buy the instrument. For instance, brokered CDs purchased via Vanguard begin at 1 to 3 months and go out beyond 10 years. The value of the CD will fluctuate with interest rates, with the price declining as yields run higher.

Artistgndphotography | E+ | Getty ImagesThe Federal Reserve is likely to skip an interest rate hike when it meets this week, experts predict. The central bank has already raised interest rates 11 times since last year — the fastest pace of tightening since the early 1980s. The average rates for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage "remain anchored north of 7%," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist. Auto loan rates top 7%Even though auto loans are fixed, payments are getting bigger because the price for all cars is rising along with the interest rates on new loans. Federal student loans are now at 5.5%Federal student loan rates are also fixed, so most borrowers aren't immediately affected by the Fed's moves.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Kayla McBride scored 28 points and Napheesa Collier added 26 points and 13 rebounds as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Connecticut Sun 82-75 on Sunday to force a deciding Game 3 of their first-round playoff series. Alyssa Thomas scored 26 points and DeWanna Bonner added 24 for the No. 3 seeded Sun, who won the first game of the series by 30 points on Wednesday, but now must win a road game to advance. But the Sun responded with a run of their own and trailed only by 65-60 headed into the fourth quarter. Connecticut was also the third seed last season and had to beat the Wings on the road in a decisive third game to advance to the semifinals.

☆ A rise in car prices would hit consumers already facing higher payments.

Prices are rising, options are limited and interest rates are higher than they’ve been in over 20 years. The Federal Reserve started raising interest rates in March last year to combat inflation, eventually pushing its benchmark rate to the highest level since 2001. That has had an effect on rates for auto loans, which are now about 7.4 percent on average for new cars and 11.2 percent for used cars, according to Edmunds. Higher interest rates mean those who can put off buying a new car until next year or later, probably will. High rates were the top factor holding back business for car dealers this quarter, according to a recent survey from Cox Automotive.

☆ Here's the inflation breakdown for August 2023, in one chart
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Anadolu Agency | Anadolu Agency | Getty ImagesInflation rose in August on the back of higher gasoline prices, according to the consumer price index. Gasoline was the largest contributor to inflation in August, accounting for more than half of the increase, according to the BLS. This pared-down measure — known as "core" CPI — fell to an annual rate of 4.3% in August from 4.7% in July. On a monthly basis, core inflation rose slightly, to 0.3% in August from 0.2% in July. The increase in monthly core CPI "is a little bump in the road," said Kayla Bruun, senior economist at Morning Consult.

☆ Inflation sped up again in August
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Madison Hoff | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests inflation is still too high, given the Fed's 2% target. The index for gas climbed 10.6% month over month, way more than the previous month over month increase of 0.2%. The new report also shows how much core CPI increased in August, a key inflation measure that excludes food and energy. Year over year, core CPI soared by 4.3%, same as the forecast of 4.3% and below July's increase of 4.7%. While the Fed has been fighting inflation with interest rate hikes, there may be more to come as inflation is still above the central bank's target 2%.

All this uncertainty has led markets to lack conviction, flip-flopping as conflicting narratives around inflation rates and Fed hikes prevail. But this week’s readings — just a few days ahead of the Fed’s September policy meeting -— could give the markets direction. “Getting core inflation to 2% won’t come quickly, and upside risks remain,” said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. And while the Fed generally looks at core inflation, the impact of crude prices often extends into other areas of the economy.

Ben Sasse told The New York Times that professors shouldn't feel stifled by a new Florida law. "You want to actually be teaching debates that allow people to get inside texts and wrestle," he said. Sasse, a former Nebraska senator, took over the reigns of the University of Florida earlier this year. In July, SB 266, which mandates that professors cannot "distort" historical events, became Florida law. "There's nothing that's going to keep a University of Florida professor from teaching that," he told the newspaper.

Higher interest rates created a 'golden handcuff' effectSince it's unlikely rates will drop anytime soon, this has created a so-called golden handcuff effect. Similar to the financial incentives employers may offer to discourage employees from leaving a company, homeowners are now bound by their low mortgage rate. They don't want to move now and give up that low rate to buy at a higher rate. Between 1978 and 1981, mortgage rates similarly doubled from around 9% to more than 18%, compelling more homeowners to hold on to their homes. However, "mortgage rates weren't at record lows in the late 70s before they started to skyrocket in the early 80s, nor did home prices increase as rapidly," Channel said.

Television’s depictions of religion have often leaned either toward po-faced dogma or scouring atheism, but here is one that dares to split the difference. The eldest, Jesse, is a pompous hothead whose default response to any insult is light violence and who, despite his persona as a family man, has enjoyed the sort of hard-partying lifestyle that would make early-1970s Led Zeppelin blush. His sister, Judy, is a flamethrowing libertine with a staggeringly foul mouth and a tendency to transgress against her lovingly milquetoast husband. Like a staging of “King Lear” at a monster-truck rally, the show has a loneliness that undergirds its berserk energy. This is not the only fascinating vision of the church on HBO these days.
