Fed seems poised to raise rates for a 3rd time this year 1 SHARES Share it! If the Fed finds that prospect likely, it might signal Wednesday that it expects to slow its rate increases next year. In that scenario, it might raise rates only twice in 2019 and then retreat to the sidelines to see how the economy fares. Most analysts expect the Fed to signal that it plans to raise rates a fourth and final time this year, presumably in December. In the meantime, economists are divided over how many Fed rate increases are likely in 2019.
