Your records appear incorrect: June, 1999: (You show no increase) federalreserve.gov The Federal Open Market Committee today voted to raise its target for the federal funds rate 25 basis points to 5 percent. But the key point is: Did they pause and then start raising again? The answer is yes. Oct 5, 1999: PAUSE The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to leave its target for the federal funds rate unchanged. federalreserve.gov Nov 16, 1999: 25 bps hike The Federal Open Market Committee today voted to raise its target for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 5-1/2 percent. federalreserve.gov Dec 21, 1999: Pause The Federal Open Market Committee made no change today in its target for the federal funds rate. federalreserve.gov Feb 2, 2000: 25 bps hike The Federal Open Market Committee voted today to raise its target for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 5-3/4 percent. federalreserve.gov So its not unusual for the Fed to pause and then keep hiking. I'm not saying that is what will happen this time, but they have paused and hiked again in the past.
