That is, the Fed will hike and hold, not hike and cut as many in the markets had been forecasting. The September CNBC Fed Survey shows the average respondent believes the Fed will hike 0.75 percentage point, or 75 basis points, at Wednesday's meeting, bringing the federal funds rate to 3.1%.

The Fed is expected to fire off another three-quarter point rate hike — its third in a row.

The Fed has considered 2.5% to be neutral, and if it raises by three-quarters of a point, fed funds will be in a range of 3% to 3.25%. In June, the Fed forecast the unemployment rate would be 3.7% this year, the same level it was at in August.

Și ea a avut zile când nu avea bani nici de pâine, dar nu i-a părut rău în acele momente că a dat bani pe biletele la loterie și că nu a câștigat nimic. Istoricul povestește că de-a lungul timpului, viața acelor oameni, dar și a descendenților lor, nu s-a schimbat prea mult. Indiferent dacă tatăl lor a câștigat loteria sau a pierdut, viața fiilor lor arăta la fel.
