In the Federal Reserve's October press release, the central bank changed one important word in its latest policy statement. In their focus on the rate decision, most investors probably didn't notice the other announcement. In its prior update, the Fed said that economic activity was expanding at a "solid" pace. Now, it's expanding at a "strong" one. It might sound like a throwaway change to a sentence. But the Fed words these statements carefully. This wasn't a mistake or an oversight. Since it raised rates once already this year, this could be interpreted as a signal. Earlier this year, the market expected it wouldn't have to deal with rate hikes until well into 2027. A big reason stocks experienced a broad rally at the start of this year was expectations of a lack of Fed action.
