quick take
With the next FOMC meeting looming tomorrow, July 26, hopes are high that the Fed will raise rates by another 25 basis points.
Market estimates are that this adjustment is almost certain, with a 99% probability. This increase will put the Federal Funds rate in the range of 5.25% to 5.50%, in line with the peak interest rate observed in 2008.
