[Analyst: The Federal Reserve Needs More Than One Rate Hike] According to Jintou News, Seema Shah, Chief Global Strategist at U.S. asset management firm Principal Asset Management, believes that a Federal Reserve rate hike next week is a certainty. Shah stated: 'The focus of market discussions has quickly shifted from whether the Federal Reserve will raise rates to a more important question—how many rate hikes will ultimately be needed in this cycle. We anticipate that the Federal Reserve will not stop at just one rate hike. This is no longer merely a matter of fine-tuning the economy. After inflation has remained above target levels for five consecutive years, policymakers may conclude that more than one rate hike is necessary to restore price stability.'
