Is the loan interest rate floating? Per the pic below suddenly my interest paid went up when it should continue going down.

Cannot answer without seeing a bit more details about the loans and interest - but your loan interest is tied to the market interest rate (and the company specific margin added on top of that). So if global interest rates go up, you pay more...

The market interest rate did go up so that explains that. I didn't know that the loans were floating interest. I thought they were fixed rate.

I think a person should be offered fixed rate or floating rate. But that's just a suggestion.
