The Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut has not resulted in a significant decrease in credit card APRs. Despite the monetary policy shift, consumer credit costs remain elevated across the board. Analysis indicates that factors such as demand for credit, merchant fees, and card issuer profitability continue to influence rates. While the Fed’s actions aim to stimulate economic growth, the impact on consumers is currently limited. Market conditions and ongoing economic trends are expected to continue to play a role in determining the pace of rate adjustments.
