-

The Federal Reserve “signaled that the pace of the U.S. economic recovery from the pandemic” could make the central bank raise rates earlier than projected said Matthew Boesler and Craig Torres in Bloomberg.com. Meeting this week for the first time since a 5 percent inflation surge was reported in May, most officials on the Federal

Open Market Committee saw the likelihood of two rate hikes in 2023. While the outlook was more hawkish than many analysts anticipate­d, Chairman Jerome Powell cautioned that specific discussion­s of rate increases were still “highly premature.”
