USD: Fed hikes rate by 25bps

The US Federal Reserve raised the fed funds rate by 25bps to 5% yesterday in line with market forecasts. This pushed US borrowing costs their highest levels in over a decade, since 2007, as inflation remains elevated.

The Fed also noted the US banking system is “sound and resilient” and recent developments are likely to result in tighter credit conditions for households and businesses.
