7. From what I've read, about 70% of economists think there will be another quarter rate hike next week

About half of economists predict one more quarter rate hikes and about 20% predict two more quarter rate hikes.

As such, I doubt a quarter rate hike will cause much turmoil in the market. As you mention though, it may cause some teetering banks who didn't manage their interest rate risks appropriately over the edge.
