Abstract
The Federal Reserve's tenth interest rate hike has further impacted the U.S. economy and society. Therefore, this paper analyses the current economic environment in the United States and the implications of high interest rates, as well as the link between high interest rates and US Treasuries against the background of the tenth interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. The research uses information and data from the Federal Reserve, current news, and data from the US stock market as the basis for the analysis. This study concludes that high interest rates are unfavourable for the US economy in the short term, but have helped employment, mortgage repayment costs, and growth in some sectors.
