Mainstream, conventional wisdom holds that Fed rate increases take six to nine months to worm their way into the economy. The increases started in March with a 0.25% nudge. The low side of six months has the effect of that modest increase just beginning to be noticed.

The bad news is that the next bump in rates, by a half percent, didn't happen until May, so don't expect any vast improvements on the inflation front much before Christmas.

Wells Fargo saying stop jerking around and get it done once and for all with 150
If the powers that be had been raising rates by .25% per year, say from 2012 to `20 things could be better today. During that span things were OK and money was cheap, `prolly wouldn`t have been a big impact for most people. Just a thought.
