  "account": "Last month, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy committee unanimously raised its benchmark interest rate, the federal funds rate, by a quarter percentage point. This move is widely anticipated to be the first of several in the current cycle, with futures traders pricing in one to two more quarter-point hikes by year-end, and several more in 2027. The yield on the two-year Treasury note, a yield particularly sensitive to the Fed's rate decisions, has climbed to 4.82%, signaling the bond market's expectation of additional rate hikes over the next year. Furthermore, the Fed's policymakers have set projections indicating further rate hikes, suggesting a comprehensive rate-hiking cycle. For investors, the critical question now is: How will the stock market respond to this anticipated rate-hiking cycle?",
  "summary": "The market tends to pull back in the first six and 12 months after the Fed begins hiking.",
