ABOUT INTEREST RATES
What Are Global Interest Rate Data?
Global interest rate data describes monetary policy, borrowing costs and fixed-income market conditions across countries and regions. Common indicators include central bank policy rates, overnight rates, deposit rates, lending rates and government bond yields.
Policy rates are among the most important macroeconomic indicators. When a central bank raises rates, financing conditions generally become tighter; when it cuts rates, financial conditions generally become easier. The actual impact also depends on inflation, economic growth, exchange rates and market expectations.
Interest rate data is generally not tick-by-tick market data. Central bank policy rates usually change following meetings, statements or official releases, so both the data date and publication time should be considered.
