Coronavirus Impacts Interest Rates Up-Down-Sideways?

by Cassidy Hyde | Feb 21, 2020

Interest rates have shifted a bit at the local level. Some local lenders, such as Republic Bank, have lowered interest rates on commercial loans. This is mainly due to market concerns over the impacts of the Coronavirus. The Federal Reserve has committed to keeping rates the same but will consider taking action if the virus begins to affect the global economy. These lower rates mean more buying power for buyers.
