The hike, meant to stave off inflation in these times of hyperbolic growth and spending, caught some analysts off guard. "This raise is a bit unexpected," says TIME financial writer Bernard Baumohl. "There was a lot of uncertainty as to whether the Fed would move, since the economy has been showing signs of slowing down on its own."
