While higher interest rates can lead to increased borrowing costs for households, they can also lead to higher yields on saving and investment accounts. Lower income households are more likely to have a limited capacity to take advantage of these higher returns, as on average they have fewer resources available for saving and investment Top Movers: K92 Mining Inc (KNT.TO) soared
