Fed rate hikes this year:
This year the Federal Reserve has increased the interest rates seven times in 2022. Yesterday’s 50bps rate hike came after the US central bank raised the rates by 75 basis points at four successive meetings in its earlier meetings. Investors are now watching the Thursday meetings of the Bank of England and the European Central Bank (ECB), where a 50 bps rate hike is anticipated.
The markets have not welcomed the latest hike as the central bank has raised its projection of terminal interest rate to 5.1% from 4.6%. Federal Chairman Jerome Powell has said that there is more work ahead in raising interest rates and vanquishing inflation.
Asian stocks are slated to open lower today as there are indications that interest rates will climb higher than expected next year.
