The Fed's expected rate hike for the first time in three years has intensified market uncertainty, with traders closely watching for the outcome of the September meeting. The market is reacting to the potential for a hawkish Fed, which could exacerbate losses in the S&P 500, especially with oil prices above $100. The Bank of England's warning about rising inflation adds to the pressure on further rate hikes, which could impact the market's risk appetite. The Fed's rate hike is a key uncertainty for the market, with traders closely monitoring the dot plot and the guidance provided by the FOMC.
