The Federal Reserve — the Fed for short — is the central banking system of the United States, founded in 1913 to stabilise the country's financial system. In everyday conversation it's shorthand for the body that sets interest rates, moves markets, and gets blamed for everything from mortgage prices to recessions. When someone says 'the Fed raised rates', they mean the Federal Reserve Board has made a decision that will ripple through every wallet in America.

Everyone was watching when the Federal Reserve announced it was holding interest rates steady for the third meeting in a row.
