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.
