US Fed unleashes another big rate hike but hints at a pullback soon

The Federal Reserve pumped up its benchmark interest rate on Wednesday by three-quarters of a point for a fourth straight time but hinted that it could soon reduce the size of its rate hikes. The Fed's move raised its key short-term rate to a range of 3.75 per cent to 4 per cent, its highest level in 15 years. It was the central bank's sixth rate hike this year a streak that has made mortgages and other consumer and business loans increasingly expensive and heightened the risk of a recession. But in a statement, the Fed suggested that it could soon shift to a more deliberate pace of rate increases. It said that in coming months it would consider the cumulative impact of its large rate hikes on the economy. It noted that its rate hikes take time to fully affect growth and inflation.

High inflation in sight, Fed to signal more rate hikes ahead: Powell

Last month, when Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at an economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he issued a blunt warning: The Fed's drive to curb inflation by aggressively raising interest rates, he said, would bring some pain" for Americans. When the Fed ends its latest meeting on Wednesday and Powell holds a news conference, Americans will likely get a better idea of how much pain could be in store. The central bank is expected to raise its key short-term rate by a substantial three-quarters of a point for the third consecutive time. Another hike that large would boost its benchmark rate which affects many consumer and business loans to a range of 3 per cent to 3.25 per cent, the highest level in 14 years.
