What happened

Well supportedReported by 16 independent outlets

The war in the Middle East has driven up energy prices, contributing to high inflation and declining real wages. Despite Donald Trump's efforts to pressure the Federal Reserve into lowering interest rates, the Fed raised borrowing costs for the first time in three years. Meanwhile, oil prices dropped 2% as signs emerged that warring parties might be open to a resolution.
