Von Kreditnehmern ersehnt, von Sparern befürchtet: Die Euro-Währungshüter senken nach einer Serie von Zinserhöhungen im Kampf gegen die Inflation wieder die Leitzinsen im Euroraum. Nach knapp neun Monaten auf Rekordhoch verringert die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) den Einlagenzins, den Banken für geparkte Gelder erhalten, um 0,25 Prozentpunkte auf 3,75 Prozent. Der Zins, zu dem sich Geschäftsbanken frisches Geld bei der Notenbank besorgen können, wird von 4,5 Prozent auf 4,25 Prozent gesenkt. Warum hat die EZB die Zinsen zuvor so stark erhöht?Im Juli 2022 beendete die EZB ihre jahrelange Polit...

Fast jeder fünfte Erwachsene in Deutschland will oder kann einer Umfrage zufolge kein Geld auf die hohe Kante legen. Knapp 18 Prozent der 2140 von YouGov für die Postbank Befragten antworteten auf die Frage, wo ihre Ersparnisse bleiben, entsprechend. Etwa ein Drittel der knapp 1600 Umfrageteilnehmer, die nach eigenen Angaben über Ersparnisse verfügen, verzichtet bei einem Großteil des Geldes auf Zinsen: Weil sie es auf dem - zumeist unverzinsten - Girokonto stehen lassen (23,3 Prozent) oder als Bargeld verwahren (6,9 Prozent). Ein knappes Drittel (32,1 Prozent) der Sparer steckt den größten Te...

Washington (AFP) - A strong US economy and an uptick in inflation led the Federal Reserve's rate-setting committee to conclude that progress against rising prices had stalled, according to minutes of its most recent meeting published Wednesday. Fed policymakers voted to hold rates at a 23-year high after the rate-setting meeting concluded on May 1, as they sought to tackle inflation still stuck firmly above the bank's long-term target of two percent. The minutes of the two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting show that policymakers generally felt that "recent data had not increase...

Washington (AFP) - US Federal Reserve officials raised concerns at their March interest rate meeting about the recent "broad-based" rise in inflation, but still said they expected cuts to start this year, according to minutes of the meeting published Wednesday. The Fed held its benchmark lending rate at a 23-year high after its March meeting, as policymakers continue their attempts to bring inflation back down firmly to the US central bank's long-term target of two percent. Price increases have slowed significantly from their peak in 2022, but have crept higher in recent months, keeping the ma...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve voted Wednesday to keep interest rates at a 23-year high for a fifth consecutive meeting, while signaling it still expects to make three cuts this year. The news sent US markets higher, as traders cheered the central bank's affirmation that three cuts are likely despite a recent uptick in monthly inflation. All three major indices on Wall Street closed at new records. The Fed's unanimous decision to hold its key lending rate between 5.25 percent and 5.50 percent lets policymakers "carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook and the balance...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve could provide additional clues on Wednesday about how much it will cut interest rates this year, but it is almost certain to leave its key lending rate unchanged for the time being.

The US central bank has lifted its key lending rate to a 23-year high of between 5.25 and 5.50 pe...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep its key lending rate unchanged again on Wednesday, as policymakers continue discussions over when to start rate cuts and launch the next phase in their long-running battle against inflation. The Fed has raised interest rates to a 23-year high of between 5.25 and 5.50 percent as it looks to return inflation firmly to its long-term target of two percent. After making significant progress against rising prices last year, 2024 has been more challenging, with the US seeing a small uptick in the pace of monthly inflation. At the ...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve is widely expected to start cutting interest rates in the coming months, as inflation edges closer to its long-run target of two percent. What is less clear, however, is when the first of those cuts will come. While the US central bank is almost certain to announce it is holding its key lending rate steady at its next rate decision on Wednesday, analysts think it could also drop some more hints that cuts are coming. In economic forecasts published alongside the last Fed decision, policymakers indicated that they expect as many as three quarter perce...
