U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

All three major U.S. stock indexes plunged more than 3% on Friday, 26th August 2022, after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that the Fed would continue to raise interest rates to curb inflation, dashing some investors’ hopes for a slower path of rate hikes.

The Nasdaq led the decline, its worst one-day performance since 16th June 2022, weighed down by heavy losses in high-growth technology stocks.

The stocks had surged a day earlier as they awaited Powell’s speech at a central bank seminar in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Powell warned on Friday that there is no quick fix for surging prices and that tight monetary policy will need to be maintained “for a while” until inflation is under control, meaning growth will slow, the job market will soften, and households and businesses will endure “some pain. “.

Investors know there will be further rate hikes in the future, but they are divided on whether the Fed will raise rates by 75 basis points next month, or 50 basis points.

However, recently released data highlighting the continued strength of the labor market will offset the impact of two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, driving some speculation that the pace of interest rate hikes may be slowed.
