As we’ve been anticipating & discussing, Interest Rate Hikes are here.

The Federal Reserve has raised its interest rates by 0.25%, the first hike since 2018. Since that announcement, forecasts for numerous stocks have changed with the cost of loaning and research and development being heavily impacted by interest rates.

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years.
