Global Financial Markets Rose Collectively As The U.S. Rate Hike Landed


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The S&P 500 index of U.S. stocks rebounded Wednesday, 15th June 2022, ending a five-day losing streak, after the Federal Reserve announced a policy to raise interest rates to levels expected by the market.

The Fed seeks to fight rising inflation without triggering a recession. The Fed raised its target interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point, the largest increase since 1994, and expects the economy to slow and the unemployment rate to rise in the coming months. 

Stocks were volatile after the statement was released, and stocks turned decisively higher after Chairman Powell said at a press conference that a 50 basis point or 75 basis point hike was most likely at the next meeting in July, but he does not expect a 75 basis point hike to be uncommon.

By the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 303.7 points, or 1%, to 30,668.53, the S&P 500 rose 54.51 points, or 1.46%, to 3,789.99, and the Nasdaq gained 270.81 points, or 2.5%, to 11,099.16.

The S&P 500’s previous five-day losing streak was its longest since early January.

Ultimately, growing concerns about surging inflation, higher borrowing costs, slowing economic growth and corporate earnings have kept stocks under pressure for much of the year.
