Ben Bernanke was sworn in Wednesday to be the 14th chairman of the Federal Reserve, completing an historic changing of the guard at the central bank.

Bernanke’s first major piece of business is likely to decide what to do next with interest rates.

Many economists are betting that the Fed, which increased rates for a 14th consecutive time on Tuesday, will raise rates one last time at the next meeting on March 28 — Bernanke’s first as Fed chief. Then, the Fed probably will stand pat for perhaps the rest of the year.

One of the reasons many analysts believe that the central bank will nudge rates up one last time is a feeling that Bernanke will want to show that he is just as much of an inflation-fighter as his predecessor, Alan Greenspan.

“Bernanke will feel the need to look tough in the fight against inflation and a good way to do that is to raise rates another quarter point,” said economist David Jones, head of a Denver-area consulting firm.

The oath of office was administered to Bernanke in the Fed’s stately board room by vice chairman Roger Ferguson.
