 Go to the internet and find a news article(s) published within the last month that discusses US level of interest rates, summarize key points of the article using finance terminology. 

Note that the goal of this discussion is to read, understand, and discuss recent news using finance terminology. The article should be from an online newspaper or magazine. Materials posted on educational websites, such as www.thebalance.com, www.khanacademy.org, Investopedia and so on, are not considered news articles even if they were recently updated and contain material related to the discussion topic.

Discussion questions:

1. Summarize key points of the article using finance terminology.
2. What are the ramifications of the interest rate levels to the economy, consumer spending, lending, et al? 
3. Reflection: the students should also include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words, using finance terminology, reflecting on what they learned from the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in the workplace or in everyday life.

You are expected to contribute to the main topic and respond with value-added comments to at least two of your classmates and your instructor.
