++ La Fed rialza i tassi di 25 punti base, prima volta in 3 anni ++

The United States Federal Reserve has raised interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the target rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%. This marks the first rate hike by the central bank in three years.

The policy action occurred during the third FOMC meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, lifting the rate from the previous 3.50%-3.75% bracket. Officials cited persistently high inflation as the primary driver behind the decision.

Financial authorities indicated that another rate intervention is anticipated before the conclusion of the year as the central bank continues efforts to address ongoing inflationary pressures.
