Informa Research Services Recommends Online Rate Tables to Stay Atop Changing Market

CALABASAS, Calif.--(Business Wire)-- Today, the Federal Reserve kept the target Fed Fund's rate steady at 2.00%. The Fed Fund's rate is the overnight rate of interest at which Fed Funds are traded among financial institutions. These loans are used to fulfill Federal Reserve minimum funding requirements. While this decision was made to calm the market, rates have been moving somewhat unpredictably as of late. Informa Research Services, Inc. recommends consumers use the Internet to ensure they get the best rates no matter what the rate environment is like (http://moneycentral.msn.com/loan/loan.aspx?iType=1). Mortgage rates are not directly linked to the Fed Fund's rate, but historically, they tend to correlate over time. However, as of late, this has not been the case.
