Stocks whipsawed and bond yields climbed after the Federal Reserve raised rates by 75 basis points, with the “dot plot” projections suggesting a fourth straight hike of that magnitude in November is possible.

The S&P 500 pared losses after sliding almost 1% in the aftermath of the announcement. The two-year U.S. yield topped 4%. The dollar remained higher.

The Fed decision, which was unanimous, takes the target range for the benchmark federal funds rate to 3% to 3.25%–the highest level since before the 2008 financial crisis, and up from near zero at the start of this year. The “dot plot”, which the central bank uses to signal its outlook for the path of interest rates, shows the median year-end projection for the federal funds rate rose to 4.4%. The estimate for the end of 2023 was boosted to 4.6%.
