Speculation is rife as two major interest rate announcements are expected this week, marking the culmination of recent rate hikes. The US central bank, Federal Reserve (Fed), is anticipated to raise the key interest rate by 25 basis points (0.25 percentage points) on Wednesday, reaching the highest level in 22 years.
