Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is set to give remarks Wednesday afternoon after the central bank opted to raise interest rates by 0.25 percent to tame inflation amid the Iran war. The Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to increase the rate to a range of 3.75 percent to 4 percent. The move marks the first time the Fed has hiked it in more than three years — and the first time in nearly a year that the range touched 4 percent.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. EDT. #federalreserve #interestrates #warsh #fed
