- pjc50 2y agoLow rates very much in the interests of people who want to get mortgages. (Interestingly, because of the very long mortgage duration, US homeowners are very insulated from interest rate shocks. But it will show up in consumer credit, car payments etc.) Low rates are also expansionary for the economy in general.
