US stocks fluctuated higher on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate for the first time in more than three years.⁣
⁣
The Fed said the unanimous decision was aimed at tackling persistent inflation, which has been fueled by rising crude oil prices during the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.⁣
⁣
The central bank indicated that further rate increases were likely as it seeks to bring inflation down more quickly.⁣
⁣
U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the move on social media, saying interest rates should be 1 percent or lower.⁣
⁣
“LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.⁣
