What interest rate hikes really does in turn is it makes it harder for the banks to borrow money. So what happens is banks start to borrow money from other banks.

Now in turn that might hurt Wells Fargo and Bank of America because what if they have a spike in people wanting to collect their money out of the banks now they are in a whole so it shortens the circulatory money supply. So then Bank of America and Wells Fargo will ask how can they collect on money in another way without borrowing money from people or other banks, they look at all of their customers who have a variable interest rate (an Interest rate that is not fixed and can change at any time). These customers will then get a notice saying that their interest rate has changed and their monthly bill will increase.

It will increase the interest rate, which will decrease investment as well as aggregate demand, which will result in lower GDP on contrary as previously said. As this graph shows, the reduction of aggregate demand will lower the price level and lower Real GDP. Contractionary monetary policy restrains inflationary pressures. Business and individuals will spend less and save more which also shift the aggregate demand to the left just like the graph shows. Consumer spending will decline because cost of living is increasing because of the rise of interest
