Market News Summary

The minutes of the Federal Reserve’s meeting showed that officials expressed concerns about the pace of inflation in their previous meeting in July, stating that further interest rate hikes would be necessary in the future unless economic conditions change.

The meeting minutes stated, “With inflation continuing to run above the Federal Reserve’s target and labor market tightening persisting, a majority of participants see escalating inflation pressures that require further tightening of monetary policy.”

European stocks declined yesterday, Wednesday, due to the drop in bank stocks as mounting evidence of the Chinese economy losing momentum left investors worried. Meanwhile, British stocks faced pressures from increasing concerns about ongoing inflation.

The dollar index rose and gained momentum following strong economic data in recent times, which bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue its monetary policy tightening.

Although a few members had indicated after the prior meeting that additional interest rate hikes might not be imperative, the minutes of the meeting unveiled a prevailing sense of caution among them. Throughout the deliberations, Federal Reserve members reaffirmed their dedication to upholding the course of monetary tightening until inflation gravitates back to the intended threshold of 2% gradually over time.

Risk Statement:


All investments entail risks and can result in both profits and losses. Leveraged products, in particular, may not be appropriate for all investors as the effect of leverage is that both gains and losses are magnified. Before deciding to invest in any financial product, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, financial knowledge and experience and affordability as the prices of leveraged products may change to your disadvantage very quickly, it is possible for you to lose more than your invested capital and you may be required to make further payments.
