The Fed Didn't Cut Rates, but Your Credit Card's APR Could Still Change. Here's What You Need to Know

CNET/Getty Images The Federal Reserve once again held interest rates steady at Wednesday's meeting, but that doesn't mean your card's interest rate can't change. There are other things -- like economic uncertainty and the potential impact of tariffs -- that could impact your credit card's APR. The Federal Open Market Committee left interest rates at a target range of 4.25% to 4.5% (PDF) in response to continued uncertainty about the economy and "somewhat elevated inflation."

Senate passes GENIUS Act—criticized as gifting Trump ample opportunity to grift

Critics have long warned that Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency push as president, coupled with his links to his family's growing crypto empire, create substantial conflicts of interest that must be probed.

And now, Trump is rushing regulation through Congress that many Democrats fear could create his biggest conflict of interest yet. On Tuesday, the Senate passed the GENI

Peter Thiel-Backed ‘Enhanced Olympics’ Is Elaborate Supplement-Selling Scheme: Report

Tech billionaires like to paint themselves as contrarian geniuses—guys (pretty much always guys) who see institutions insist that things should be done one way because of silly things like evidence and experience and respond, “I, a person who has zero knowledge or exposure to this thing, know better.” There is perhaps no starker illustration of this mindset than the “Enhanced Games,” an Olympics-like competition with Peter Thiel’s backing that sets aside bans on performance-enhancing drugs and e

Don't Let Sneaky Subscriptions Ruin Your Budget. Americans Spend More Than $1,000 a Year on These Services, CNET Survey Finds

What Is Lemon8 and Could It Be Banned With TikTok? What to Know

We're back again: The 75-day extension President Trump gave TikTok this spring is over on Thursday.

Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos

Puerto Rico’s power struggles
