download the news app on your cell phone or connected tv, i'm matt piper. cbs news, new york. this is the "the cbs overnight news". good evening and thank you for joining us as we begin with the state of the american economy and what it means for you and your family. today the federal reserve took aggressive action to tackle the fastest inflation in four decades. the rate increase was three- quarters of a percentage point, and the central bank also signaled there will be a similar increase when they meet again at the end of july. wall street expected the big increase, and all three indexes jumped today with the official announcement. but what it means to the average consumer is still an open question. the goal here is to slow the economy without causing a
3:31 am
recession. as consumer prices skyrocket on everything from rent to groceries to gas prices, the fed hopes making it more expensive to borrow money means people will spend less on things like homes and cars, leading to a drop in demand. and as we know from the gas station, fuel is pricey. so president biden today was scolding u.s. oil companies for taking advantage of the crisis to make record profits. we've got a lot of news to report tonight, so let's start with carter evans in los angeles. good evening, carter. >> reporter: good evening, norah. with this rate hike, the fed signals it is meeting the growing inflation crisis head on. it's a bold attempt to throw cold water on a white-hot economy. >> it is essential that we bring inflation down. >> reporter: the aggressive move from the central bank today is urgent, according to fed chair jerome powell. >> inflation is, obviously, surprised to the upside over the past year, and further surprises could be in store. >> reporter: the last time the fed raised rates three-quarters of a percent was in 1994, when inflation was only 2.7%. >> in the fed's view, there's too much spending going on. >> reporter: nick bunker with
3:32 am
indeed.com. this is a different position than the fed had a couple of months ago. >> exactly. their expectations haven't come true and inflation is now very high, 8.5%. >> reporter: the fed's move today will make borrowing money more expensive, with rate hikes of 1rey th yea a loan for t ave most $60 a month more in tere than last year. more expensive loans could discourage spending and reduce the insatiable demand now driving inflation to 40-year highs. but higher interest rates won't lower gas prices, now over $5 a gallon nationally. today, president biden called on seven u.s. oil refiners to ramp up production and stop making historically high profit off americans. the painful price increases are already too much for some people on fixed incomes, like 70-year- old bonnie gilbert in omaha. her husband died last year from covid. >> now i'm not going to be able
