Why would the Fed influence interest rates to increase?
To fight inflation
To stimulate the economy
To expand the economy
To fight a recession
Answer explanation
When inflation occurs, prices are rising in the economy. When the Fed raises interest rates it discourages consumers and businesses from taking out loans. This decrease in demand for goods, services, and capital will cause prices to lower. (Left shift in demand will lower the equilibrium price)
