7:25 am
pandemic. and for the 1st time, the chair of the federal reserve, jerome power, spoke to the public at large from the lodge where the meeting is being held. his address has not been televised or put online before this time. it was, which is an indication of how anxiously the public as a whole is watching what the fed is going to be doing. some had been hoping that the fed would back off its aggressive increase of at the base rate, given the fact that inflation had e slightly over the last month. but no, the federal reserve chairman made very clear that he was thinking exactly the opposite is message was stark. his message was clear that interest rates will continue to rise in the months to can possibly as soon as when the federal reserve next meet in september. and by the end of this year or the beginning of next, the interest rate could reach as high as 4 percent. bearing in mind that at each of its last 4 meetings, the federal reserve has increase the rate on each occasion. it's going to have
