There is an inverse relationship between the interest rate and investment in housing. A lower interest rate, encourages people to borrow more and it increases investments in housing, because funds are cheaply available and vice versa. Similarly, a lower interest rate, increases business investments as funds are available at an attractive rates.

the demand of funds, that can cause the demand curve of funds to
shift to the right. It increases the interest rates also. So, after
a period of investments of these types, interest rate will
increase.
