The Fed has raised interest rates four times this year to fight inflation. They hiked by 0.25 basis point in March, the first hike in more than three years. Then they hiked further 50 basis point in May, 0.75% in June, and another 0.75% in July. This takes the current benchmark rate to 2.25 – 2.5%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell then left the door open about the next move at September meeting, suggesting that it depends on the data.
“As the stance of monetary policy tightens further, it likely will become appropriate to slow the pace of increases while we assess how our cumulative policy adjustments are affecting the economy and inflation,” Powell said. Risk appetite starts to come back to the market with speculation that the Fed may pause the rate hikes. Indices and commodities have started to recover since the selloff started earlier this year.
