This morning, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loans, to 3.5 percent, down by three-fourths of a percentage point from 4.25 percent.
If you are in the process of financing your new smart purchase, this cut should result in lower auto loan rates.
NOTE: wrong! This rate only affects mortgages, etc. and will NOT reduce auto loan rates. Sorry for the bad info.
