Earlier, at the policy meeting on December 14 (local time), the Fed announced a smaller-scale interest rate hike than the previous four meetings, amid signs of US inflation " hypothermia".
Specifically, at its latest meeting, the Fed decided to raise interest rates by 0.5 percentage points, bringing interest rates to the highest level since 2007 at 4.25-4.5%, in the context that the bank's decisions are increasingly affecting the world's No. 1 economy.
Still, Fed officials signaled that their battle to contain inflation and slow the economy was far from over.
