Whats the Deal with the Prime Rate Right Now?

I've been keeping an eye on the prime rate, and I’m curious about everyone’s thoughts. It seems like there’s a lot of chatter about potential hikes and what that means for borrowing costs. As traders, how do you think the changes in the prime rate will impact our investments?

Are you changing your strategies based on what the Fed is doing? I mainly trade in real estate and tech, and I’m wondering if I should brace for an impact. Also, for those of you who’ve navigated these shifts before, any advice on what to watch for? I feel like the prime rate always gets overlooked until it suddenly matters. Would love to hear your experiences!
