The Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Jerome Powell, has been on a mission to combat inflation and stabilize the economy. In 2022, the Fed raised interest rates aggressively, with seven rate hikes in a single year. This move was aimed at curbing inflation, which had reached a 40-year high. However, with inflation showing signs of slowing down, the question on everyone's mind is: will the Fed continue to raise interest rates in 2024?


Current Economic Conditions


According to Bankrate, the Fed's decision to raise interest rates again in 2024 will depend on various economic factors, including inflation, employment, and GDP growth. If these factors indicate that the economy is still growing strongly, the Fed may consider raising interest rates to prevent the economy from overheating. However, if the economy shows signs of slowing down, the Fed may decide to keep interest rates steady or even lower them.
