Discount rate
The FOMC sets targets for the Discount Rate. By trading securities, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, it affects the Federal Funds Rate which is the interest rate by which banks lend to each other overnight.
The federal funds rate is the interest rate banks charge on loans in the federal funds market. The federal funds rate is not set administratively by the Fed. Instead, the rate is determined by the supply of reserves relative to the demand for them.
The discount rate is the interest rate at which banks borrow money directly from the Federal Reserve, while the federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend money to each other overnight. The Federal Reserve uses these rates to influence the overall economy. Typically, the discount rate is higher than the federal funds rate, and changes in one rate can impact the other. When the Federal Reserve wants to encourage borrowing and spending, it may lower the discount rate and federal funds rate to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money. Conversely, when the Federal Reserve wants to slow down the economy and control inflation, it may raise these rates to make borrowing more expensive.
