What's a basis point?
Basically a hundredth of a percentage point. If they raise the rate 0.75%, that is 75 basis points.
Thanks for that from me too.

βThe word basis in the term basis point comes from the base move between two percentages, or the spread between two interest rates.β https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/basispoint.asp
So if base points are lowering (interest rates are lowering?) isnβt that at a good thing?
