The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted unanimously to raise interest rates by 25 basis points today (July 26).

The FOMC’s move took the federal funds rate to a target range of 5.25–5.5%, its highest for 22 years, after pausing the tightening cycle in June. The move was widely expected by analysts, with all of 106 economists polled by Reuters predicting a 25bp rise.

“We’re going to be going meeting by meeting,” Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said about future policy decisions.
