Federal Reserve raises interest rates by a quarter point under Chair Warsh
The Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to raise its baseline interest rate by a quarter point to a range of 3.75 to 4 percent, the first hike in over three years. Chair Kevin Warsh cited persistent inflation, which stood at 3.4 percent in August, above the Fed's 2 percent target. President Trump expressed disappointment but blamed the Fed board rather than Warsh personally.
