Market update: Federal Reserve hikes short-term rates by 0.75% (15 June 22)

S&P 500 after the Fed's 75-basis point rate hike yesterday, which was the largest move in 28 years.

Several central banks elsewhere also raising their key rates:  the Swiss National Bank surprised overnight with a 50-basis point rate hike (its first hike in 15 years), Brazil's central bank raised its key lending rate by 50 basis points, and the Bank of England increased its key lending rate by 25 basis points while projecting a 0.3% decline in Q2 GDP as a whole.
