What happened

Well supportedReported by 48 independent outlets

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points on September 18, signaling that further tightening may be necessary to curb inflation fueled by higher energy costs linked to the war in Iran. This action occurred amid persistent worries about higher inflation, which has caused yields to jump recently. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has downplayed the economic impacts of the war, even as attacks on Iran drive up global prices.
