An IP editor attempted to add the following: I have deep confusion about Wiki defintion of Feds Fund rate as it says that the rate with which the financial institutions lend each other whereas I have seen it as the rate with which a central banks lend the commercial banks. Please clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.68.200.85 ( talk) 10:15, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
When I ask "What is the federal funds rate?" there's a fair chance I might want to know ... [wait for it] ... what the rate is!! It is, as I type, 2.25-2.5%.
Yes, I could waste my time plowing through to find "Historical" (which is a word typically used for "NOT the present") and find a recent (though not up-to-date) rate.
OVER and OVER and OVER these days I discover -- to my sadness -- that Wikipedia isn't what it used to be. I'm sure this article, like so many others, conforms to someone's logic. IT DOES NOT CONFORM to the needs of Joe Public which often want simple fast answers to simple questions.
Should the article begin with a single-sentence paragraph stating the current rate? Perhaps not. BUT DO NOT REMOVE MY CHANGE unless you have a solution which addresses the problem.
Thanks in advance. Jamesdowallen ( talk) 09:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
What is this? This section is about historical rates or rather about rate target? It should began from simple sentence like "The first time the rate was set on ... at ... level". The highest level was, the lowest level was etc. Please write properly.
Edit: You can use the paper - Anbil S. et al., "A New Daily Federal Funds Rate Series and History of the Federal Funds Market, 1928-1954", July 2020, https://doi.org/10.20955/wp.2020.016
and paraphraze this: "The Federal Reserve publishes the standard daily-frequency time series for the federal funds rate, which begins in July 1954.3 However, the federal funds market came into being long before that, in the 1920s. This article introduces a new daily series for the federal funds rate that begins at the earliest possible date, April 1928, and continues to the start of the Federal Reserve's series."— Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.183.140.104 ( talk) 20:16, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
