Fed rate hikes: Cause for pause?
Fed watchers see potential for a pause in rate increases, but recent reports show the economy still runs hot.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine will drive additional volatility in the coming weeks, but historically, geopolitical risks have had a limited impact on the markets. However, higher costs on consumer-facing commodities like oil and natural gas may keep inflation higher for longer. Looking ahead, the Fed is expected to begin raising interest rates later this month, followed by other policy-tightening measures.
