The Federal Reserve signals multiple rate hikes are coming in 2022 as it moves to fight inflation

The Federal Reserve will wrap up its pandemic-era stimulus program faster and expects to raise interest rates more in 2022 than projected in September.
The central bank, which first announced in November that it was "tapering" its monthly asset purchases, said Wednesday that it will do so at a faster pace.
Starting in January, the Fed will buy $20 billion worth of Treasury securities less and $10 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities less. That leaves the monthly shopping list at $40 billion for Treasury securities and $20 billion for mortgage-backed securities.
