What happened

Well supportedReported by 21 independent outlets

The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, moving the rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%, in response to renewed inflation pressure and an oil-price surge tied to the Iran war. Following Donald Trump's rejection of Iran's seven-day offer, crude oil prices received support. Meanwhile, gold prices declined as rising energy costs and expectations of tighter U.S. monetary policy weighed on bullion demand.
