Members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have expressed their lowest level of concern about gross domestic product (GDP) growth since the Federal Reserve began releasing its outlook in 2011. In response, strategists at private-equity firm KKR anticipate the Fed will raise interest rates in December and again in March of next year, before stabilizing at 4.375% through 2029. KKR's chief investment officer, Henry McVey, noted that this tightening cycle is increasingly driven by rising GDP and elevated core inflation.
