Description:
The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, the first cut in four years. The price of Bitcoin rose above $71,000, its highest since March, settling around $70,900. Lower interest rates are generally good for risky assets like Bitcoin, as they make borrowing money cheaper and increase the money supply. The Bank of Canada governor said confidence in returning inflation to their 2% target has increased. The US Federal Reserve is expected to keep rates steady in June but cut by September according to market forecasts.

_what-are-high-yield-savings-accounts.webp "A high-yield savings account is essentially the same as a traditional savings account with one key difference — high-yield savings accounts pay a higher than average APY on deposits. An APY, or annual percentage yield, is the amount of interest earned on an account in one year. The APY for high-yield savings accounts can be anywhere from 3% to over 5% — much higher than that of a traditional account. <br/><br/>Savings rates have been on the rise following a series of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, as the central bank has sought to reduce inflation. The Fed opted to raise rates at the last meeting, raising the federal funds rate, a key bank lending rate, to a target range of 5.25%-5.50%. Experts believe that the Fed may raise rates again at the next meeting. Higher interest rates could potentially increase savings rates further, so many recommend locking in rates now while they're on the rise. Over time, rates will decrease as inflation cools.<br/><br/>Since the rate of return on high yield savings accounts is better than that of traditional savings accounts, you'll be able to accrue more cash over time.
