As expected, the Federal Reserve raised American interest rates for the first time since 2006. The central bank lifted the target range for its benchmark rate from 0-0.25%, where it has languished since December 2008, to 0.25-0.5%. Even though inflation remains subdued, steady growth and strong labor market with unemployment at just 5% have convinced the Fed that the tightening is due.
