Lovitură primită de Donald Trump chiar în SUA. FED, sistemul băncilor centrale, crește dobânda după 3 ani, în ciuda "ordinelor". Ce urmează pentru dolar - Economica.net

The Federal Reserve has raised the benchmark interest rate from 3.75% to 4% amid rising inflation and record borrowing costs. This decision marks the first rate hike since June 2023 and poses challenges for President Trump, who has advocated for lower rates to boost the economy. The Fed's tightening is influenced by multiple factors, including trade tariffs, energy shocks from the Iran conflict, and significant investments in AI. Current economic indicators suggest a resilient economy, with GDP growth projected at 2.3% in 2026 and unemployment at 4.1%. However, inflation remains a concern, with estimates showing a decrease to 2.3% by 2027. The Fed may consider another rate increase, but this depends on labor market conditions and energy supply normalization.
