Financial markets are heavily rattled as the Federal Reserve is poised to enact a quarter-point interest rate hike at its upcoming policy meeting on September 15–16, 2026, marking its first rate hike since late 2023.
Spurred by August CPI report, market odds for a September hike have surged to between 85% and 90%.
This pivotal decision under the leadership of the newly appointed Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, effectively marks a aggressive pivot toward tightening.
Since the 1990s every Fed cycle has featured multiple hikes, with 1997 the sole single‑increase exception. Markets now expect at least three hikes by June, abandoning earlier hopes for four cuts in 2026. 📈
