Its primary tool for achieving these goals is to adjust interest rates. When prices are rising too fast and inflation is above 2% the aim of the Fed, it increases interest rates and increases the cost of loans throughout the economy. This results in a stronger US dollar (USD), because the US is doing a more attractive place for international investors to park their money. When inflation falls below 2% or the unemployment rate is too high, the Fed can reduce interest rates to support loans, which weighs on green binding.
