If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plans on raising interest rates at some point in the near future it will change the "fed funds" rate on overnight bank loans.
economic activity slows because at high interest rates, businesses are less willing to borrow, this kind of policy is enacted if the fed feels that inflation is getting out of hand.

The Federal Reserve raises the rate in order to encourage banks to lend less.
When the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, the value of outstanding bonds will increase. The increase in the value of bonds is due to the market price of the bonds adjusting to reflect the lower interest rates available on new bonds. Investors with bond holdings enjoy an increase in the value of their holdings when the Fed cuts rates. However, new investors in bonds will receive a lower rate of interest and if the Fed later raises rates, bond investors will experience a decrease in the market value of their bonds.
