Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The fair value of our long-term debt, all of which is fixed-rate debt, is subject to fluctuations resulting primarily from changes in market interest rates. The following table provides the fair value of our long-term debt and the change in fair value based on a 1% increase or decrease in market interest rates at December 31:

(in billions)20242023
Fair value$22.7$24.4
Decrease in fair value from a 1% increase in market interest rates1.71.9
Increase in fair value from a 1% decrease in market interest rates2.02.2

We expect interest rates on borrowings under our Credit Agreement to be based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus a percentage based on the higher of the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt from Moody’s and S&P. The applicable percentage for borrowings under our Credit Agreement at December 31, 2024 was 1.0% based on our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings on that date. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had no borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
