What happened
The Federal Reserve delivered a unanimous decision to raise the federal funds target by 25 basis points, moving it to the 3.75%–4.00% range, marking its first increase since 2023. The European Central Bank also hiked interest rates in the euro zone this month. Meanwhile, the Bank of England opted to hold its Bank Rate at 3.75%. However, the BoE decision was not unanimous, with one third of members voting for an immediate increase to 4%.
