Today and tomorrow (1/25-26) the FOMC meeting of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee will herald a 25 basis point Fed rate hike.


Most of the 45 economists polled by Bloomberg forecast the Fed will use its Jan. 25-26 policy meeting to herald a 25-basis-point rate hike, but two economists expect a surprise 50-basis-point hike. To deal with soaring prices - this would be the biggest rate hike since 2000.


In addition, 43% of economists believe that the FOMC may revise its policy statement to make it clear that it will raise interest rates at its March meeting; but another 43% said that officials will suggest that a rate hike may soon be appropriate, keeping Flexibility in time.
