The stock market is demanding the Fed take historic action on inflation
CNN
The stock market won't be satisfied unless the Federal Reserve takes drastic action on inflation.
Investors now overwhelmingly predict the Fed will raise rates by a remarkable three-quarters of a percentage point at the conclusion of its policy meeting Wednesday. That hasn't happened since 1994, when Alan Greenspan ran the Fed.
After raising rates by a half point in May — an action the Fed hadn't taken since 2000 — Chair Jerome Powell pledged more of the same until the central bank was satisfied that inflation was under control. At that point, the Fed would resume standard quarter-point hikes, he said.
