hike or a hike?

Dear Teachers,

Hello. I read a article under the title of "Interest Rate Hike by the Fed
."

When I look up to the dictionary, it is explained that "hike" is a countable noun. Considering this, shouldn't the tile be changed into "An Interest Rate Hike by the Fed"?

Hope to have your prompt help.

Thanks and best regards,

David Kim

Articles are often dropped in newspaper headlines. In oridinary text, yes, "interest rate hike" would need an article (or other determiner).
