‘It could get extremely bad’: US Federal Reserve hikes interest rate amid inflation
06:20am, Thursday, 17'th Mar 2022 The Daily Telegraph
The Australian’s Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton says “we don’t know how bad” US inflation is going to get - after it hit the highest it''s been in 40 years. The US Federal Reserve announced a quarter-point rate hike, the first since 2018, to combat inflation. Mr Creighton said the Federal Reserve hopes the rate hike strategy will be enough to counteract the rising inflation. “We really don’t know how bad it’s going to get yet, I mean, it could get extremely bad, and they may have to actually hike rates mid-meeting,” he told Sky News Australia. “So, the level of uncertainty is just huge right now.” He said inflation is a “huge headache” for the Federal Reserve, and with the added pressure from the Russia-Ukraine war and increase in petrol prices, it could lead to many months of inflation, with the possibility of it surging past double digits.
