Hilsenrath on the Fed: "Their big worry is they’ll end up right back at zero"

A weekend article in the Wall Street Journal from Jon Hilsenrath:

• Fed likely to raise their benchmark rate on Wednesday
• Expecting to slowly ratchet it higher to above 3% in three years
• But ... Their big worry is they'll end up right back at zero

Any number of factors could force the Fed to reverse course and cut rates all over again: a shock to the U.S. economy from abroad, persistently low inflation, some new financial bubble bursting and slamming the economy, or lost momentum in a business cycle

What Hilsenrath is saying in the piece is nothing new or shocking. But its attracting a bit of interest as markets begin to open for the week, a minor negative for the USD.
