Fed dramatically hikes interest rates again to fight inflation : NPR

The Federal Reserve ordered another big boost in interest rates on Wednesday, as questions bubble up about how much higher borrowing costs will have to go before stubborn inflation starts to come down.

The central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 3/4 of a percentage point. The rate, which was near zero in March, has jumped 3.75 percentage points in the last eight months. That's the most aggressive string of rate hikes in decades, but so far it's done little to bring prices under control.

"Interest rates have risen at a whiplash-inducing speed, and we're not done yet," said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. "It's going to take some time for inflation to come down from these lofty levels, even once we do start to see some improvement."

Annual inflation in September was 6.2%, according to the Fed's preferred yardstick — unchanged from the month before. The better known consumer price index shows prices rising even faster, at an annual rate of 8.2%.

I so much love driving US 20. The four lane, not-seperated a grade highway has so many interesting little towns that it passes to explore.

In Four Weeks …

In four weeks on November 30 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (241°) at 4:24 pm (Standard Time),🌄 which is one hour, 23 minutes and 38 seconds earlier then today. In 2021 on that day, we had mostly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 35 and 20 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 43 and 27 degrees. The record high of 67 degrees was set back in 1933.
