Why would the Fed raise interest rates?

I'm confused :) Because if you were correct than why is it that the FED cut intrest rates by 0.5%, yet the US dollar is now worth 0.98 Canadian dollars. Where as before it used to be worth something like $1.27 Canadian dollars.

when you cut rates, inflation sets in. Also, the chinks are through buying our debt. That makes our money less valuable.

ugh.. you gotta be kidding me. if there is more money in circulation then that means the dollar is more worthless. when they lower interest rates that means they are printing out more money. thats their way of getting more money out to the people. think about it like this.... if there is 1 babe ruth baseball card it is worth more then if there was 6 million of that same card....

you are so smart.

[papatoony]

Well the dollar is really weak right now, so why aren't interest rates even higher??

[aestheticpikachu]

to give the economy a stimulus they want to put more money in circulation.... really one of the stupidest things that i have ever heard. i think the fed is dumb in general a whole system based around debt. not very smart....
