• interest rates?
|
I'm getting a mortgage, and want fixed interest rate, but im not sure what term to go for. We originally said 3 years, but what are the chances of interest rates being lower than what they are now in three years time? Would we be better with a longer term?

• What is the interest rate for high credit scores and the differences in rates?
|
If one is prime rate. Credit score above 780. Are the final interest rates they quote you lower than what is advertise on their website? I am considering using a mortgage broker however their rates seem higher than the bank + the cost seems higher. If the rate is what they advertise, I might just go to the bank directly first and save my time. The mortgage broker seems to be on top of things and most likely have better info on closing etc. which is their only selling point but if the interest rate is higher than the competitor I am reluctant to go with it since they will hit my credit score if I apply. Simply put money is money a little .25% can equal 60K over the life of the loan. Something that could sit in investment generating returns for me.
In general what is the difference in the interest rate for prime/ A credit scores? Are the advertised rates using prime rates or just average rates?
Thanks in advance

• What effect does interest rates and currency exchange rates have on a country's economy?
|
I need to know this for a group project. We're meant to be analysing a country's macroeconomic performance and I've been tasked to write about the country's interest rates and currency exchange rates. I've searched about for hours but all I seem to find is news and statistics (they decided to keep interest rates at 1%, the value of the currency has risen etc. etc.) and I don't know what they mean and how they could be applied to the economy in the big picture. Could someone please help me understand?

• What is the relationship between interest rates and demand for money?
|
A) As interest rates decrease, demand for money increases.
B) As interest rates increase, demand for money increases.
C) Interest rates are determined by demand for money.
D) Interest rates and demand for money are unrelated.
---
I am so confused. Is money supply the same thing as demand? In that case it would be B. But then again what if has nothing to do with it, then it would be D?

• How are interest rates and unemployment related in macroeconomics?
|
I understand interest rates are set by central banks who monitor inflation, unemployment, and other stuff but I don't see how lowering interest rates could reduce unemployment.

• Why have interest rates in the US fluctuated far more greatly than UK interest rates?
|
Yet, both our economy’s are in real trouble. Why is this, despite the fact that interest rates in the UK have remained fairly constant compared to US interest rates? Apart from the latest 1.5% rate cut of course, but that was only last Thursday.

• What are some relationships between different interest rates?
|
Are there any well known relationships between different interest rates?
For example: The 20-year T-Bond rate is usually 2% above 3-month T-Bills.
Stuff like that. Is there a website that would have things like that? It doesn't have to be just treasury security rates, it can be inflation rates, Federal Reserve interest rates, whatever.
Thanks

• Are interest rates adjusted by the central bank the same as that of commercial banks?
|
When central banks (like the Fed) adjust interest rates, are these the same rates used by Commercial Banks? Do Commercial Banks give the same interest rates as the Central Bank?
