The effective federal funds rate is the overnight rate banks charge each other — the Fed’s primary policy rate. The Fed raises or cuts its target range to steer the economy toward maximum employment and its 2% inflation goal.
This is the master switch for U.S. monetary policy. Every hike or cut reprices mortgages, credit, and equity multiples.
These are common levels traders set email alerts around — click the chart to place a line at any of them.
Policy usually stays firmer while inflation runs hot (elevated around 3–4%, or clearly high at 4%+), and eases more readily when inflation cools back toward — or below — the 2% goal. Set a line at the next hike or cut level you care about; we’ll email you when the published effective rate crosses it.
