The most noteworthy macroeconomic news is still the 10-year US Treasury bond yield reaching its highest level in 16 years as the FOMC meeting maintains its interest rate outlook
The FOMC meeting and the Fed interest rate announcement
This is due to rising oil prices and strong economic data from the US and Canada, which increase the chances of future interest rate hikes.
Meanwhile, Brent crude oil has surpassed $95, reaching its highest level in 10 months, thanks to OPEC+ production cuts, which have raised concerns about inflation.
In a few hours, the Fed will announce its interest rate plans and the official minutes of the FOMC meeting. This will be important news for the market and will help determine the market’s direction in the coming months.
See information about the FOMC meeting at:
🔥 #FOMC this Week!
We have 2 days left before Fed interest rate announcement.
There are almost votes that prefer to keep the current interesting rate at 5.25-5.50 at its September meeting.
