On 17 September 2026 the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points as widely expected and reiterated that the fight against inflation is not over. The hawkish stance, together with cheaper crude oil, helped push equity markets higher.
U.S. Treasury yields initially jumped after the decision but then stabilised just below the 5% mark, while stocks returned to gains across major exchanges. Lower oil prices eased some inflation pressure, supporting the rebound in risk assets.
The move keeps monetary policy on a restrictive path as the Fed balances cooling inflation against growth risks. Market attention will remain on future Fed communications and incoming economic data for signs of the next policy steps. #Fed #inflation #stocks #oil #bonds #FiatNews
