Who it affects

  • Financials

    Usually helps

    Banks earn more on the gap between what they charge borrowers and what they pay savers.

    It can hurt instead if rates jump very fast, or if people expect a recession.

  • Tech

    Usually hurts

    Higher rates make profits expected far in the future worth less today, which weighs on fast-growing companies.

    Much less so for large companies with plenty of cash that don't need to borrow.

  • Real Estate

    Usually hurts

    Loans and mortgages cost more, so fewer people buy property and prices come under pressure.

    Property companies that locked in long, fixed-rate loans hold up better.

  • Utilities

    Usually hurts

    Their steady dividends look less appealing next to higher interest on savings and bonds, and their large debts cost more.

  • Broad market

    Usually hurts

    Higher rates lower what investors pay for future profits across the whole market.
