Russian central bank hikes key rate to fight inflation

Russia's central bank raised its key interest to 18 percent on Friday, the sixth hike in just over a year as it seeks to tame soaring price rises.

"Inflation has accelerated and is running substantially above the Bank of Russia's April forecast," the regulator said in a statement. The rate was previously at 16 percent.
