What happened

Well supportedReported by 16 independent outlets

The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, marking the first hike since 2023. The Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to increase the rate, citing that inflation remains elevated and the 2 percent goal has not been satisfied. Despite this action, Donald Trump insisted that the central bank must slash interest rates to 1%.
