Powell says Fed will hike further and faster if necessary

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chair Jerome Powell said the Federal Reserve would raise its benchmark short-term interest rate faster than expected, and high enough to restrain growth and hiring, if it decides this would be necessary to slow rampaging inflation. Powell’s message was more hawkish than his comments were after last week’s Fed meeting, when officials raised their key rate a quarter-point from near zero to a range of 0.25% to 0.5%. His remarks caused a sharp drop in the stock market with its implication that potentially much higher rates could be on the way for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and other consumer and business borrowing.

Lawsuit says Google discriminates against Black workers

UN chief: Don’t let Russia crisis fuel climate destruction

BERLIN (AP) — The head of the United Nations says countries scrambling to replace Russian oil, gas and coal supplies with any available alternative may fuel the world’s “mutually assured destruction” through climate change. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the ‘all-of-the-above’ strategy pursued by major economies to end fossil fuel imports from Russia could kill hopes of keeping global warming below dangerous levels. Speaking by video he said that “instead of hitting the brakes on the decarbonization of the global economy, now is the time to put the pedal to the metal towards a renewable energy future.” His comments came as scientists began a two-week meeting to finalize their latest report on greenhouse gas emissions.
