After rising inflation, the Fed raises the key interest rate once again by 0.75 percent, thereby raising the interest rate to 3.75 – 4.00 percent. The level will thus be the highest in more than 15 years.
The interest rate increase will be the central bank’s sixth this year, and the fourth of 0.75 percentage points in a row. A development that has made mortgages and consumer and business loans increasingly expensive and increased the risk of a recession.
Many actors have searched for indicators from the Fed that interest rate increases will be smaller in the US in the future, which they are opening up to, but without clear information.
