Chris Hill: It’s the biggest interest rate hike since 1994. What it means for businesses is coming up next. Motley Fool Money starts now. I’m Chris Hill and I am joined by Motley Fool Senior Analyst Ron Gross. Thanks for being here. Ron Gross: Yeah, my pleasure, Chris. Chris Hill: Let me time stamp this because normally we record this podcast earlier in the day. It is 2:49 PM on the East Coast and we’re recording much later than usual because of the Fed. Because at two o’clock this afternoon, the Fed came out with what we thought was going to happen, which is always comforting. I find with the Fed coming out and saying, ‘We’re raising interest rates 0.75 percent.” I think that’s what most people were expecting and what most people were looking for. The headline, of course, is, that this is the biggest rate hike in 20 years. We’ll get into some of the particulars in a minute. But I couch that by saying most, is this what you expected as well? Ron Gross: The market had a 95 percent chance had it placed that bet, that it would be 75 basis points. As I said to our Chief Investment Officer this morning, the safe bet is that 75 percent basis points will be the number. We said back and forth, if it’s 50 basis points, the market is going to be down four percent. If it’s a 100 basis points, then you’re up to the whims of the market because you can get some people saying, “Yeah, way to go Fed. Way to rip the band-aid off. Let’s get this done” and then you get the other half going “This is much worse than we thought it would be.” I wouldn’t even know how to predict what would happen if they’ve gone to 100-basis-points. Just recently, they were saying 50 and that 75 wasn’t really on the table. That gives you some indication of the need that they feel, to really be aggressive here. If you look at their expectations right now, that benchmark funds rate is at 1.5-1.75, that’s after this raise, this increase. They see it go into 3.4 percent by the end of this year. It was still a significant amount of hikes on the way. They also cut their outlook for this year’s economic growth. Now they expect just 1.7 percent gain in GDP . That’s down from 2.8 percent from March. You see the economy is slowing. It’s probably important to note that the inflation projection as gauged by the personal consumption expenditure index also rose to 5.2 percent this year from 4.3. What we’re having […]
