, the fed will start its meeting on Tuesday to
decide just that an answer is expected on Wednesday per
usual. And the fed raising its benchmark rate nine
times since March of last year in an effort to
combat inflation. The most recent of which happened early
last month. While economists predicting the FED will do
so one more time at its main meeting and then
hold rates steady until the end of the year.
