Earlier of the day, the US central bank decided to raise its cash rate by 25 basis point to 5.00%, which achieved the anticipation of consensus. After that, the following Press Conference that presented by Fed Chairman has given some clues on future rate hike path. The Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has claimed that it might be one more rate hike would be implemented by the end of 2023. However, he also signaled that could represent an initial stopping point for the rate hike path. Prior to that, the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank had shown that the recession in the US was becoming more serious, whereas another historical financial crisis would likely to occur. With that, Fed officials decided to scale down the rate hike pace in order to avoid the exacerbation of banking crisis, while dragging down the appeal of US Dollar. Nonetheless, it is note-worthy that the inflation fight does not over, said Jerome Powell.
