US Federal Reserve Raises Interest Rates by 25 Basis Points Amid Persistent Inflation
The US Federal Reserve, led by Chair Kevin Warsh, raised interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75-4.00 percent, marking the first hike since 2023. This unanimous decision responds to persistent inflation above the Fed's 2% target, rising energy prices due to geopolitical tensions, and a resilient economy. Policymakers signaled the possibility of further increases later this year. The move contrasts with President Donald Trump's preference for lower rates, highlighting the Fed's focus on price stability amid ongoing inflation concerns.
