Fed raises key interest rates, sees inflation risk WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve cautiously raised key U.S. interest rates on Wednesday and put financial markets on notice for further increases by warning that inflation was the biggest threat to the booming economy. In a statement after a policymaking meeting, the U.S. central bank said it had raised its target for the federal funds rate on overnight loans to banks to 5.75 percent from 5.5 percent. To amplify the move it also raised its less-used discount rate, on direct loans to banks, to 5.25 percent from five percent.
