What was the reason for increasing interest rates?

Question

Other then the oil price going up, there have been no real price increases since 2000 (The real estate boom is a different matter). Why did the Fed increase interest rates in the last couple of years? I didn't see any sign of inflation, could it be, that the Fed wants to keep foreing investors happy?
