Banks Raise Prime Rate to Four Percent in NY
Major New York banks boosted the prime rate on business loans to 4 percent effective immediately, up from 3 percent. The rise, led by Guaranty Trust and followed by Chemical Bank, Chase, Hanover, J. P. Morgan, and others, marks the biggest since the early 1930s and will raise borrowing costs for many businesses and smaller firms with lower credit. Banks nationwide expected to match the hike as other rate increases circulate in markets.
