The prime rate is the interest rate banks typically charge their most creditworthy customers for short-term loans and serves as a common baseline for many other interest rates. Think of it as a price tag for borrowing: when the prime rate rises, costs for business loans, mortgages and consumer credit usually go up, which can slow spending, squeeze profits and influence stock prices and interest-sensitive sectors.
