Cos many elderly rely on fd interest to cover the high cost n high expenses.
Relying on govt cdc whatever crap can't help much.

Bro, I dnt know about the terminology of fed rate.
In layman, I learn from here is fed rate up, fd up. Vice-visa.
Those on bank loans will hope fed rate down?

Ok I google:

Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) are a type of Singapore Government Securities (SGS) designed for individual investors, offering a secure and flexible way to invest, with returns that increase over time, and are backed by the Singapore government.

But nvr sat what's the interest rate.

In theory yes.

Higher central bank interest rates > higher interbank borrowing rates > higher interest rates on both loans/deposit for the deposits.

Vice versa.

Banks would want a lower interest rate as they get to enjoy a higher NIM (net interest margin) as they can lower costs and increase interest revenue.
