The Fed Just Hiked Rates — And Signaled More Are Coming
For the first time in more than three years, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates. The quarter-point hike takes the federal funds target to three point seven five to four percent — and sixteen of eighteen Fed policymakers project at least one more quarter-point hike before year-end.
That signal matters. Higher policy rates can keep pressure on borrowing costs and stock valuations. The market reaction was immediate: the two-year Treasury yield jumped to its highest level in more than two years, the Dow fell about one point two percent, and the Nasdaq barely moved. Early this morning, U.S. stock futures were bouncing back.
Now the real test: will Treasury yields stay elevated when markets reopen today?
