Answer: Unfortunately, we cannot guess all of the factors, but a good indication that rates might go up is the fact that rates haven't gone up since the Bush administration. Interest rates aren't supposed to be this low for this long. When rates are low, Americans are encouraged to spend more and this means more overall debt. The Fed may want to decrease the spending by raising the prime rate.
