    So far there is no concrete indication that the rates will be going up.

    The European Central Bank has explicitly stated that it will start moving interest rates up this month in response to inflation. The Fed has raised their rates fairly substantially. They have to be careful because an overreaction can do more harm than good.

      Didnt they raise interest to around 1 or 2 percent? That wont change anything with inflation around 10%.

      You have an interesting definition of what the word substantial means. Substantial raise in rates was what Russia did, and that stabilized the economy. The west is just letting the inflation run wild, and the longer that goes the worse things will get.
