> The US Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years as it seeks to curb inflation. Its policy committee approved a 25-basis-point increase, lifting the benchmark rate to 3.75%. The Fed said the move should help bring inflation toward its 2% target, while Chairman Kevin Warsh said the economy has remained largely resilient despite global uncertainties.
