We may see more consumers making a large purchase they had been putting off because it seems relatively more affordable, we'll likely see credit card rates decline by a small amount in response to the cut in the target federal funds rate. However, charge-off rates have been increasing over the past few years, which has also contributed to increased credit card rates among less credit-worthy consumers. So, I'd expect the effect to be more muted among those with low credit scores.
