Federal Reserve Holds Interest Rate at 2%

The Federal Reserve Board announced that they decided to hold the Fed Funds Rate steady at 2% on Tuesday August 5, 2008. Most people had assumed the Feds would hold the rate steady but will probably have to raise the rate sometime in the near future because of rising inflation. The stock market rallied on the news which has forced mortgage backed securities to trade lower. Coupled with the news that Freddie Mac reported a daunting loss, mortgage rates have jumped up considerably.
