Federal Reserve's rate hike rationale
An analysis issued by Bank of America reveals that the Federal Reserve is determined to raise interest rates due to the continued strength of the U.S. economy and high consumer spending levels, which recorded a 6.3% annual growth—an all-time high.

Additionally, forecasts for third-quarter GDP growth have been revised upward to 3%, based on strong retail sales data.
