The stock market is expected to rally even as the Federal Reserve plans to raise interest rates this week, a rare occurrence. Investors are optimistic that the rate hikes will help control inflation and stabilize long-term bond yields, which have been pressuring stocks.

How the Fed chair communicates the decision will be crucial, as a strong stance against inflation could boost confidence and support equities, while a dovish tone might unsettle bond markets and stocks.
