The federal funds rate would reach 5.75 percent, with banks' prime lending at 8.75 percent, a peak since 1995.

Supreme Court bars race in Montgomery County transfer policy
The Supreme Court refused to let Montgomery County Public Schools use race to decide student transfers, leaving intact a lower court ruling that such racial balancing is unconstitutional unless correcting past discrimination. The decision, announced without comment, preserves limits on diversity remedies in admissions and transfers.
