Futures traded much higher to start out this truncated trading week, even withstanding the last week\u2019s interest rate hike, which was the largest seen since the mid-1990s. Each of the major averages was up more than 1% early on Tuesday, but it remains to be seen if this momentum will keep up through the open.<\/p>\n
Investors saw the consumer price index reach historic levels earlier this month, almost precipitating the move by the Federal Reserve to raise rates at such great levels. Also, as interest rates increase, investors can expect to see an inverse reaction from equities. Today may be the exception to the rule, depending on how much of this pain is already priced in.<\/p>\n
It does not appear that the Fed is done hiking rates this summer, so there may be more pain for investors down the road. The question remains how much of these Fed moves has been priced into markets already.<\/p>\n
