> The only way seems to be interest rates on personal loans and mortgages. Most interest rates across the economy are set in relation to a benchmark rate, which loosely follow the Fed rate. E.g. the US prime rate. This effects essentially all credit that isn't fixed rate, which is a huge portion. How this effects you -- the price of credit that businesses use to function, which essentially every business uses, ultimately shows up in the cost of goods.
