THE FED
Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that while some things are out of the central bank's control, there is a good chance the Fed's aggressive rate hikes will not send the economy into a downturn.
Fed policymakers at the median still see the central bank's benchmark overnight interest rate peaking this year in the 5.50%-5.75% range, just a quarter of a percentage point above the current range.
But from there, the Fed's updated quarterly projections show rates falling only half a percentage point in 2024 compared with the full percentage point of cuts anticipated at the meeting in June.
Interest rate sensitive two-year Treasury yields hit 17-year highs on Wednesday after the Fed decision.
