US Fed Raised Interest Rates by 0.25%
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday for the second time in three months, by a quarter percentage point to a target range of 1% to 1.25% as it proceeds with its first tightening cycle in more than a decade. The Fed’s policy-setting committee indicated the economy had been expanding moderately, the labour market continued to strengthen and a recent softening in inflation was seen as transitory. The Fed gave a clear outline on its plan to reduce its US$4.2 trillion portfolio of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities, and one more rate rise is expected by the end of this year.
