Fed decided to raise rates by a quarter of a percentage point, and -- more importantly -- the decision was unanimous. Markets will be happy that the chair has decided to signal he's more of a Serious Kevin than a Sockpuppet Kevin (which was their main concern).

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate Wednesday for the first time since 2023 in an effort to quell stubbornly-high inflation, a move that could spur a sharp response from the White House.

Federal Reserve hikes key rate for 1st time in 3 years, defying Trump demands for a cut

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is stuck between two strong but opposing forces: Financial markets that anticipate the central bank will raise interest rates, and President Donald Trump, who wants the Fed to cut them or leave them unchanged.

Interest rates just went up because of Donald Trump & JD Vance’s mismanagement of our economy. Darline Graham Nordone supports their economic mismanagement 100%. @drannieandrews.com opposes their mismanagement and will help you buy what you need in your life.

...breaking the "hall of mirrors" phenomenon
It is equally interesting to see how eagerly some market participants await the updated rate "dots," even as momentum builds against the current approach to forward guidance.
All this underscores just how difficult it is to evolve a Fed–market paradigm...

CBO analysis: The Iran war has cost the U.S. $38 billion as of August 1.

That’s >$246 million per day, on average.

CBO says the war has raised inflation and global energy prices, citing reduced traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, and says it’ll raise interest rates on treasuries.
