the claim

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes reduced inflation from 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.4% by December 2023.

This claim attributes the decline in U.S. inflation rates over an 18-month period directly to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy of raising interest rates. The Fed increased rates from 0.25% to 5.5% during 2022-2023, and inflation measured by CPI fell from its peak of 9.1% to 3.4% in this timeframe.
