But the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee unanimously agreed that “it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate,” and Powell’s commentary suggests the first increase will happen on March 16.

Questions remain over how aggressive the Fed will want to move in March.

A notable 14% are predicting a 50 basis point hike. A double rate hike in one meeting hasn’t happened since May 2000.
