Fed Issues Highest Interest Rate Hike Since 1994
------------------------------------------------

In economic news, the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates by
three-quarters of a percentage point in an attempt to combat rising
inflation. It's the largest rate hike since 1994. The rate hike will
make it more expensive for people to borrow for homes, cars and get
other loans.
