Federal Reserve raises rates amid supply shock
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates despite ongoing supply shocks, thanks to the strength of the U.S. economy and the high nominal growth currently at 6.3% annually, surpassing the重要 threshold of 5% that indicates a risk of demand-driven inflation. Although inflation is driven by supply disruptions, the U.S. economy remains robust, with growth expected to reach 3% in the third quarter of 2026. This has allowed the central bank to continue raising rates to address the risk of inflation transferring from supply to demand. Authorities aim to curb consumer spending, which remains high despite slowing population growth, to prevent continued inflationary pressures. This strategy is expected to reduce inflation to the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%.
