Federal Reserve Rate Hike Pace in Past Year Unmatched Since the 1980’s

It’s well known that mortgage interest rates have been on the climb this year, but the speed of this increase has not occurred since the 1980’s, according to an article written by Jeff Ostrowski for BankRate.com In the article he states…

“In an effort to rein in raging inflation, the Federal Reserve boosted interest rates in March 2022, and again early May. It raised them even more in June, by three-quarters of a percentage point — which was, at the time, the largest Fed rate hike since 1994. An additional three-quarter-point hike was announced in July. And now the Fed has raised rates again, announcing yet another three-quarter-point hike on September 21. The last time it raised rates by as much at multiple meetings  in a year was in the 1980s.”
