US Interest Rates
The Federal Reserve Policymakers are due to meet on 1-2 November to decide on further Interest rate hikes to tame inflation. If the Feds believe that the rates are already at a sufficiently restrictive level, then they would maintain that level for some time and could surprise the market tomorrow. The minutes from the September FOMC meeting showed that the fed policymakers are of the view that they need to take a more restrictive policy stance to promote maximum employment and price stability. They agreed that hiking rates faster now would “prevent the far greater economic pain associated with entrenched high inflation.” The Fed raised the federal funds rate by 75 bps to the 3%-3.25% range during its September meeting. This has pushed the borrowing costs to the highest since 2008.
