Last year, the Fed went to a policy of increasing interest rates to fight inflation. However, the Fed, which did not make any concessions from its “hawk stance”, increased the US interest rate up to 5.5 basis points. It was stated that the aim of these upgrades was made for the final inflation target of 2 percent. However, the latest inflation rate in the USA came in at 2.9.
While the Fed’s policy of increasing interest rates was not welcomed by some circles in the USA, the US Federal Reserve did not abandon its stance and increased interest rates. The Fed encountered some problems during rate hikes, but did not give up its firm stance on interest rates in order to achieve its inflation target.
