Interest Rates / Inflation Seems the markets are consumed at the moment with the Feds extreme Hawkish stance. Will a half point rise? more? Really they have no choice inflation they need to cool. Question most are asking themselves what will the cost of higher interest rates relative cost the economy? How much of cooling effect will it or might it have. Some will say SO they are still relatively low in comparison. Yes but higher, cooling takes time interest rate hike is immediate and hurts right away as so many are on the cusp. signed.. tipping the scales....
