Fed rate move could trim growth while averting inflation risks
Analysts estimate a gradual 12 to 18 month rate rise would shave about 0.15 percentage points from next year’s growth and raise unemployment marginally, with a three year window of slower expansion. Some warn faster hikes could spook markets and depress demand, while others see possible stimulus from higher rates. GDP growth slowed after the 2004–2006 hikes as context for the current policy path.
