Markets stumbled today as investors learned more details about the Federal Reserve's plan to slow inflation.

The Fed, aka the

central bank

, has held baseline interest rates at 0% to make borrowing very cheap, stimulating economic activity while the economy needed it. Now,

unemployment is back to normal low levels,

but

inflation is becoming an issue

. There's too much borrowing and spending for the available resources, pushing prices higher.

The Fed's discussing

raising interest rates more quickly

, by 0.5% increments, to make debt more expensive and slow borrowing and spending.

The Fed's also been pumping more money into the system to ensure there's enough liquidity flowing through the pipes for all the activity. Now they're discussing

taking some of that money out of the system to slow activity further.
