Fed raises rates for the first time since July

The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time since July 2023 by 0.25 percentage points, bringing the range to 3.75% to 4%, in an effort to combat the persistently high inflation. This decision comes amid expanding economic activity and a strong labor market, with continued growth in production and capital investments, while the unemployment rate remained relatively unchanged. Committee members forecast that the average gross domestic product (GDP) growth will be 2.3% in 2026, with the unemployment rate decreasing to 4.1%. They also expect inflation to slow to 2.3% in 2027.
