It is widely expected that the Fed will increase the fed funds rate by 0.25% later this week. For some perspective, today's chart illustrates the average change (blue line) in the fed funds rate following a major bottom. Based on this historical average, once the fed funds rate begins to rise it tends to keep rising for an average of about 19 months with an average increase of 3.4%. Currently (red line), rates are rising at a pace that is very similar to the last time Greenspan & Co. raised rates following a recession (gold dashed line). The current consensus on Wall Street is for two more 0.25% rate hikes (one this week and the next in August). After that, opinions tend to diverge. Whether it is to be two more hikes or three, history suggests that the end for this period of tightening is fast approaching.
