The Dollar Falls After the Fed’s Interest Rate Decision

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points today on Wednesday, March 22, to 5% levels. This means the Fed raised interest rates for the ninth time in a row, to the highest level since 2007.

According to the Federal Reserve’s expectations, the real gross domestic product will grow by 0.4% in 2023, while unemployment is expected to reach 4.5% and inflation at 3.3% this year.

US indices closed collectively lower in Wednesday’s session, following the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, and the Fed’s president’s expectations not to cut rates this year.

FOMC members also stated in the Fed statement that some additional tightening might be possible but indicated that it is about to halt future increases in light of the recent turmoil in the financial sector.

The Nasdaq index fell by 1.6% in Wednesday’s session, and the US regional banking index fell by more than 5%, to close near its lowest level in more than two years.

The S&P 500 index fell by 1.7% to lose 4,000 points, but managed to stay above the 200-day moving average.

US Crude (USOUSD)

US Crude Chart on 23 March 2023

Oil prices fell on Thursday, March 23, following three sessions of gains, after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell renewed his commitment to curbing inflation, including the possibility of raising interest rates again.   

Brent crude futures fell 80 cents, or 1%, to $75.89 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 84 cents, or 1.2%, to $70.06 a barrel.      

Both crudes reached their highest closing levels since March 14, in yesterday’s settlement.

Yesterday, Powell said that pressures in the banking sector could lead to a credit crunch, with “clear” repercussions for the US economy, which officials at the US central bank expect to slow more than expected this year.

The crisis in US banks caused fluctuations in the trading of risky assets such as oil during the past week, with investors anticipating the US Central Bank’s decision to raise interest rates on Wednesday.
