Fed hikes interest rate 0.75 percentage point to tame inflation, and sees aggressive increases ahead. What’s it mean for you?

WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve barreled ahead with a third straight outsize interest rate hike Wednesday in an effort to squash high inflation – but economists worry the campaign is increasingly risking a recession by next year.
