In its economic projections, the Fed expects economic growth to remain sluggish well into the future, with real gross domestic product rising just 0.5% in 2023 and 1.6% in 2024 before returning to a long-term expectation of 1.8% annually.

The board now expects the fed funds rate to rise to 5.1% in 2023, up fully half a percentage point from its projections just three months ago. That implies more tightening than many investors had hoped to see, and it arguably raises the chances that strict monetary policy will cause a prospective recession to occur.</p><h2>Market reaction to the Fed</h2><p>In addition to stocks falling, bond yields immediately rose following the Fed decision.

By contrast, higher-growth areas like communication services struggled, as did financial stocks, which have gotten whipsawed by an inverted yield curve.</p><p>All in all, the market&#39;s reaction to the Fed was relatively muted, and stocks didn&#39;t give up much of their gains from earlier in the week.
