Fed’s Next Move: Will They Hike Interest Rates Again This Year?
Is the Federal Reserve's next interest rate hike just around the corner? According to meeting minutes, Fed officials expect another hike before the end of the year, but the timing remains uncertain. Despite recent inflation data showing core inflation at 3% and headline inflation at 3.4%, officials are concerned that inflation will remain above target. As a result, the Fed's preferred gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, is likely to influence their decision. With markets still betting on a second hike this year, the question on everyone's mind is: when will the next rate hike happen?
