More frequent rate hike from Fed.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Market participants feed upon Federal Reserve\u2019s latest hawkish signal following testimony from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. During the testimony session, Powell reiterates his support for a 25-basis point interest rate hike during their next policy meeting on 16th<\/sup> March 2022. Powell also emphasized that the central bank\u2019s main focus will be placed upon curbing rising inflation even though Russia-Ukraine tension may create spillover effect on US economy. Likewise, he also commented that US economy is strong enough to weather through a few rounds of rate hike due to robust hiring after the pandemic. When asked with regards to the upper limit of interest rate, Powell suggests that it may be more than their projected range of 2-2.5%, while all decisions will be based on future economic data. As of writing, the dollar index was down slightly by 0.01% to 97.68.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price was up by 0.85% to $109.29 per barrel following a rebound from lower levels. On the other hand, gold price depreciates by 0.05% to $1,935.78 a troy ounce due to diminishing risks in between Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n
