The Federal Reserve raised interest rates, citing that inflation remains too high for too long. This move followed a quarter-point increase in the federal funds rate to a target range of 3.75% to 4%. Concurrently, the average 30-year fixed-rate home loan rate climbed to 6.95% this week, up from 6.76% last week.
