How Rate Hikes Are Affecting Wells Fargo

How Rate Hikes Are Affecting Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo (WFC) benefited alongside other bankers from rising rates, which resulted in better rate spreads for existing loan books.

However, rate hikes going forward aren’t expected to boost margins, and will instead put pressure on further lending due to higher interest rates.
