The Fed’s Open Market Committee unanimously decided at its meeting this week to bump the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% to 5.5%, sending rates to their highest level since 2001., the Fed said it will continue to “assess” the macroeconomic and fiscal backdrop, signaling further hikes may be on the horizon.
