Americans will likely see interest rate hikes in the new year as the Federal Reserve tries to address inflation.

The fed is expected to raise interest rates at levels higher than projected in September.

Last month, the central bank announced it was easing its monthly asset purchases.

On Wednesday the fed announced cutbacks would happen more rapidly.

It's expected interest rates will increase by nine-tenths of a percent next year.
