On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in over three years. The move was implemented as a response to persistent, high inflation within the United States economy. The central bank also indicated that additional rate hikes may follow as it attempts to stabilize rising prices.
Following the announcement, U.S. stock markets reversed earlier gains to close lower. The S&P 500 experienced a decline, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a loss of 750 points.
