What happened
On September 16, the Federal Open Market Committee raised its target interest rate range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%, citing elevated inflation. Following the decision, the Chair of the Federal Reserve stated that the action would support a timelier return to the Committee’s 2% goal and that the Committee would deliver price stability. This pledge pushed the odds of an October hike from 43% to 64%.

Why it matters
The rate hike and the Chair of the Federal Reserve's statement have led bond yields to climb to levels not seen in years. Separately, economists from 15 large and regional banks predict inflation will climb to 3.8% during the third and fourth quarters before falling to the low 2% range in 2027.
