What happened
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023. This action followed hotter-than-expected US inflation figures that recently knocked investor sentiment. Separately, House Republicans delayed an impeachment vote against defense secretary Pete Hegseth until after the November midterms, after Democrats failed to impeach him.
Why it matters
Hotter US inflation figures pressured the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy. The rate hike signals a shift in monetary policy, which could influence market sentiment and borrowing costs.
