Tonight at 2 AM, Will the Fed Pull the Trigger on a Rate Hike?

Odaily Planet Daily News: At 2 AM Beijing time on Thursday, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision, followed by a press conference held by Waller. The market has priced in over a 90% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike this time. Meanwhile, oil prices have already risen above $100, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has broken through the critical psychological threshold of 5%. The real focus of this meeting may not be on "whether to hike," but rather on whether the dot plot becomes more hawkish, how the subsequent path is described, and what signals are released during the press conference. Market volatility is likely to amplify significantly, so investors are advised to pay close attention to risks. (Jin10)
