Recorded event

Quarter-point increase brings the range to 3.75%-4.00%

The FOMC raised the target range by 0.25 percentage points to 3.75%-4.00% in a unanimous decision.

Read context

The committee attributed this increase to elevated inflation. The earlier entries show the intervening holds and cuts rather than treating the selected increases as consecutive changes.
