UPGRADEOriginal content: Gold, US indices higher, on Fed Bostic comments [Video]
U.S. indices were higher on Wednesday, as market volatility surrounding a rate hike began to marginally fade.
This comes following Friday’s better than expected Non-farm payrolls number, which helped validate the Fed’s decision not to hike last month.
Following this, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic stated that inflationary pressures may be set to ease.
On Wednesday, Bostic stated that, "I am very hopeful we are going to start to see that decline ... There is some evidence we are on the cusp of that".
He went on to say that the pace of change with the supply chain could be a key element in managing rising consumer prices.
As of writing, the NASDAQ was 1.37% higher, with the Dow Jones 0.77% higher.
