US dollar suffers as the Fed strikes a dovish tone
The Federal Reserve has met expectations and hiked the Federal Funds rate by 75 basis points, for the fourth consecutive time, to the 3.75% - 4.00% range.
Investors, however, had been focused on the statement, and this has been tilted to the dovish side. The committee affirmed that the pace of future rate hikes will be decided considering “cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments.”
Furthermore, the bank has reaffirmed that interest rate increases will be necessary to return inflation to the 2% level, although warning about recent indicators pointing to modest growth in spending and production.
