While Investor's Business Daily describes a rate hike as close to a lock, other economists believe the Fed may defy expectations. Market analysts are weighing the potential for multiple subsequent increases, though some suggest a rate hike could actually be bullish for the market. Investors remain uncertain as they await the official meeting outcome and a looming Clarity Act vote.
