The Fed Just Hiked For The First Time Since 2023. Here’s What It Means For Your Portfolio. • On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target range by a quarter point to 3.75%–4.00%, marking its first increase since July 2023. Chair Kevin Warsh stated that inflation has been too high for too long and that price stability is the committee's overriding focus. Sixteen policymakers expect at least one more increase before year-end, with the median projection for the funds rate sitting near 4.1% for both 2026 and 2027. Following the announcement, the S&P 500 closed at a six-week low and the 10-year Treasury yield reached roughly 5%. The Fed's projections also show GDP forecast at 2.3% for 2026 and unemployment drifting lower to about 4.1%. Investors are advised to watch core inflation, wage data, and the upcoming October meeting closely.
