Economic news: USD rose after Fed Chair’s press conference as he pushed against slow down of rate hikes. Fed raised rates by 75 bps. Fed Chairman said that employment is robust unusually and consumer savings is keeping demand high. Housing markets have not cooled off. He added that inflation which ought to have come down as supply side issues have been resolved has not materialized. He added that Fed could afford over tightening, but cannot fall behind inflation curve as it would be costly for the economy. He said that if overtightening results in inflation decline and economic decline, Fed has tools to support the economy back to normalcy. He said that it is premature to talk about final rates, though such a situation could emerge in future. He also said that Yield curve has to be monitored for financial tightening as borrowing is dependent on that.
