VIEW IN BROWSER | SUBSCRIBE SAT, SEP 17, 2022 WEEKEND BRIEF EDITOR'S NOTE The Federal Reserve meets in the week ahead, and investors are expecting another hefty three-quarters of a point increase in interest rates Wednesday afternoon. What is more important for markets, however, is what the central bank shows in its rate forecast for its terminal, or end rate in this hiking cycle.   Markets were roiled in the past week after a hotter-than-expected inflation report bumped up expectations for Fed rate hikes. Futures are now pricing in a 4.5% terminal rate, or end rate, up from 4% before Tuesday's consumer price index. Treasury yields and other rates moved higher in tandem after the CPI, and stocks sold off.   "When you can get 4% yield in the front end of the yield curve that's an attractive alternative," said one chief investment officer.   There is also a batch of housing data in the week ahead, including housing starts and existing homes sales. There are a few earnings reports, including Costco and General Mills. Investors are also watching out for any warnings from companies ahead of the next earnings season, after FedEx talked about softness in deliveries globally and withdrew its earnings guidance.
