Fed Raises Rates by 25 Basis Points
The Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75%–4.00%, its first rate hike since 2023. Markets had largely anticipated the move, with pricing implying about a 90% probability beforehand.
Chair Kevin Warsh said future policy decisions would remain dependent on incoming economic data. Market participants are divided on whether the increase is a one-time adjustment or the beginning of a broader tightening cycle. Bitcoin traded near $76,000 after the announcement.
