Money in the Market: Could this be the last rate hike from the US Fed?

from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

The change brings borrowing costs to a 22-year high range of 5.25 percent to 5.5 percent. While this hike was largely expected, markets had been hoping this would be the last hike for the year.
