NEGATIVE IMPACT
The SPY ETF, which tracks the S&P 500, could be impacted by potential interest rate hikes due to inflation risks, as suggested by the Fed minutes.
Interest rate hikes generally lead to a decrease in stock prices as borrowing costs increase, potentially slowing economic growth. As SPY tracks the broader market, it is likely to be negatively impacted by such a move.
