Why Is No One Talking about This Relationship with Rate Hikes?

[The Startup Investor]( Thursday, July 28, 2022 [Why Is No One Talking about This Relationship with Rate Hikes?]( Dear Startup Investor, With the Fed hiking interest rates another 75 basis points, Americans are hunkering down and expecting the worse. It recently acknowledged that perhaps it waited a bit too long to try to damp down inflation, and we're seeing the effects this year. For example, in 2021, the Fed's use of the term "transitory" to describe early signs of inflation proved to be, well, transitory. We're now in the midst of the most aggressive interest rate hikes in 40 years, and the economy is still going to be slow to respond, unfortunately. When surveyed in June, the New York Fed predicted that, come June of next year, prices will have risen 6.8% more from their current inflated level. For what it's worth, we're already seeing consumer habits shift on account of these price hikes. Walmart and Target recently announced that people are more often opting for necessities (like, you know, food) than they are luxuries (like big-screen TVs and patio furniture). (So, if you're in the market for a TV or furniture, you'd be wise to wait a couple of months for a good old-fashioned fire sale.) [But while a new TV sounds nice, there could be opportunities for discounted purchases that prove much more beneficial in the long run...]( The A+E Network Deal Team P.S.
