Here are highlights from Thursday’s Analyst Blog:
ETFs That Won After Fed Rate Hike
The Federal Reserve hike benchmark interest rates by another 75 bps and indicated it will keep hiking well above the current level to tame sky-high inflation. Fed officials signaled the intention of continuing to hike until the funds level hits a “terminal rate,” or end point, of 4.6% in 2023, per a CNBC article. That implies a quarter-point rate hike next year but no decreases.
The median Federal Funds rates are now projected to be 4.4% for 2022 (from 3.4% projected in June). For 2023, the same is projected to be 4.6% (from 3.8% in June) and for 2024, the same is projected to be 3.9% (from 3.4% in 2024).
The Fed also hiked its inflation forecast for the year. The central bank now expects the median inflation rate to jump to 5.4% this year, higher than its previous forecast of 5.2%. PCE inflation expectation has gone up to 2.8% for 2023 from 2.6% projected in December. The Fed downgraded its forecast for 2022 median real GDP growth from 1.7% in June to 0.2% for 2022. It lowered the growth rate expectations for 2023 and 2024 to 1.2% and 1.7% from 1.7% and 1.9%, respectively.
With the possibility of a hawkish Fed in 2022 and 2023, short-term government bond yields rose. Two-year U.S. treasury yield jumped to4.02% on Sep 21 from 3.96% recorded on the day earlier. Benchmark bond yields fell to 3.51% from 3.57% recorded on Sep 20. Key U.S. equity indexes dropped post Fed meeting.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s an American AI company that’s riding low right now, but it has rounded up clients like BMW, GE, Dell Computer, and Bosch. It has prospects for not just doubling but quadrupling in the year to come. Of course, all our picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
