Putting Interest Rates in Perspective

About this episode

The episode discusses the historical perspective of interest rates in the US and their current environment.

One of the leading economic pain-points of recent years has been interest rates, but is today’s rate environment really that high from a historical perspective? Nathan takes us through the history of interest rates in the US, from the instability of the pre-central bank era, through the post-pandemic inflation. Also on MoneyTalk, overactive trading, real estate investing, and more. Host: Nathan Beauvais CFP®, CIMA®, CPWA®; Air Date: 5/8/2026. Have a question for the hosts?
