Why Apple Stock Rallied Today
Shares of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) climbed nearly 3% on Wednesday, following the Federal Reserve's statement.
The Federal Reserve plans to taper its asset purchases at a faster rate to combat rising inflation. The announcement came after wholesale prices surged a record 9.6% in November.
This tapering positions the Federal Reserve to begin raising interest rates next year. Members of the Federal Open Market Committee forecast three rate hikes in 2022.
