Happy Friday eve, readers. Phil Rosen here. Surprising no one, the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points yesterday.
That puts the Fed Funds Rate above 5% for the first time since 2007. Remember, the higher that goes, the more expensive it becomes for consumers and businesses to borrow.
All eyes are on the Fed today as officials ready their decision on what could be the final rate hike of the cycle.
As of last night, traders assigned a 82% probability to a 25 basis-point increase, while they see an 18% chance of no change at all.
We'll hear from central bank chief Jerome Powell today at 2 p.m. ET, shortly after the policy announcement.
Below, we're covering everything to know for the big day.
