Factors Behind the Fed's Rate Hike

U.S. Federal Reserve indicators are heading toward the first interest rate hike in about three years, amid high inflation pressures that have surpassed the 2% target, mainly due to the global energy crisis and uncertainty surrounding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. It is expected that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its upcoming meeting, in order to maintain credibility and control inflation, which rose to 3.4% in overall prices and 2.4% for core inflation as of August 2026. Additionally, rising bond yields and strong economic growth prospects are driving the need to keep pace, with the possibility of further rate hikes throughout the rest of the year if inflation remains high. However, experts point out that raising interest rates will not resolve the oil price crisis or energy supply issues related to the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
