12:53 (IST) 20 Sep 2022 US Fed policy decision: US FOMC may hike interest rate by 75bps, remains committed to bring inflation down

Federal Reserve officials have made it very clear that they will not slow the pace of rate hikes until they see convincing evidence that core inflation pressure is easing. More rapid pace of interest rate increases would slow the economy, the Fed may yet stick to a so-called soft-landing, lowering inflation but avoiding a severe downturn. Yet this seems difficult in the light of inflation remaining higher than expected. With a resilient labor market supporting strong wage growth, inflation has probably not begun its downward journey; keeping the Fed on an aggressive monetary policy path for a while. Read full story

08:17 (IST) 20 Sep 2022 Markets to trade range bound ahead of US Fed meet outcome on Wednesday

Markets are likely to remain range bound ahead of the US Fed interest rate decision to be announced 21Sep (Wednesday). While it is widely expected that Fed will go for at least a 75 basis points hike, however, given the stubbornness of US inflation and robust numbers from US data points like retail sales and a strong labor market, there is a high chance that the aggressive stance towards rate hike is likely to continue for a prolonged time. Even the Bank of England is likely to announce a 50bps rate hike to combat inflation and could keep global markets under pressure. US 2-Year bond have spiked to a 15-year high at 3.9% while the 10-year bond is hovering at 3.4%, thus implying that the short term pain could continue in the global markets. Back home, Indian markets are better placed compared to the other global markets due to strong macro factors, strong government policy implementation and oil prices falling to 7-month low.
