prime lending rate financial

"announced a decrease in its prime lending rate. The new rate of 6.75%"

The prime lending rate is the interest rate banks typically charge their most creditworthy customers for loans; think of it as the store price that lenders offer to their best buyers. It matters to investors because many consumer and business loan rates, mortgages and corporate borrowing costs are tied to that rate, so changes act like a ripple that affects company profits, consumer spending and overall market valuations.

asset-based lending financial

"including corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending; wealth"

Asset-based lending is a type of loan where a borrower uses tangible assets — such as inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, or real estate — as collateral to secure credit. For investors, it matters because the quality and liquidity of the pledged assets affect the lender’s risk and the borrower’s borrowing capacity; like borrowing against items in a pawnshop, stronger assets generally mean safer loans and clearer recovery options if the borrower defaults.
