NEGATIVE IMPACT
The potential for significant interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve could impact the SPY ETF. Higher interest rates can lead to lower stock prices, which could negatively affect the ETF.
The SPY ETF tracks the S&P 500, which is a broad representation of the US stock market. If the Federal Reserve raises interest rates significantly, it could lead to lower stock prices as borrowing costs for companies increase, potentially reducing their profits. This could lead to a decrease in the value of the SPY ETF.
