Fed Rate Hike

Dated events

1. Oct. 6, 1979 · Volcker's Fed announces anti-inflation measures, shifting to reserve targeting
   Two months after Paul Volcker took over the Federal Reserve, the Fed announced a new approach that let interest rates rise sharply to fight inflation that had reached double digits. This made borrowing money much more expensive for businesses and people, which caused stock prices to fall and the dollar to strengthen.
2. Feb. 4, 1994 · Fed raises short-term interest rates for the first time since early 1989
   The Federal Reserve started raising interest rates for the first time in years, catching many investors by surprise. Bond prices dropped sharply and stock prices fell because higher rates made borrowing more expensive and reduced the appeal of stocks compared to safer investments like bonds.
3. June 30, 2004 · Fed raises rates by 0.25 point to 1.25%, its first hike in four years
   After keeping rates very low for years following the 2001 recession, the Federal Reserve began raising rates gradually. This shift signaled the end of cheap borrowing, but because the Fed promised to move slowly, stock prices rose slightly on the day.
4. Dec. 16, 2015 · Fed raises rates to 0.25-0.5%, its first hike since 2006
   The Federal Reserve raised its main interest rate for the first time in nearly a decade, moving away from the emergency-low rates set during the 2008 financial crisis. Stock prices rose on the day of the decision, then fell over the next two days as oil prices dropped and investors worried about the impact of more expensive borrowing on company profits.
5. March 16, 2022 · Fed raises rates by 0.25 point, its first hike since 2018, as inflation climbs
   The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2018, by a quarter point, because prices for everyday goods were rising at the fastest pace in 40 years. It signaled more increases to come. Stock prices rose on the day, but over the rest of 2022 stocks and cryptocurrencies fell while the dollar strengthened.
