Analysts: Risk of Fed interest rate hikes has increased significantly

The Federal Reserve has unexpectedly shifted to a more aggressive stance on raising interest rates, signaling growing concerns about continued high inflation. The latest dot chart shows that nine officials support raising interest rates this year, and six support raising interest rates twice or more, each time by 25 basis points. Compared with March, when no policymakers predicted a rate hike. Walsh emphasized the Federal Reserve's determination to fight inflation. Matthew Luzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, said that the risk of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates has obviously increased, and the financial market has reacted significantly to this. Stock markets have fallen sharply and bond yields have risen.
