In March, policymakers said they saw no increases until at least 2024. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has said he’s willing to let inflation run above the Fed’s traditional 2% target rate before adjusting policy in order to allow the economy more room to recover from the depths of the Covid pandemic.

It happened more than two years after then-President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
