First Fed Hike Since 2023
from Squawk Box Europe Express
The Fed hikes for the first time in over 3 years, with the Dow shedding over 600 points while the 10-year Treasury yield holds stubbornly around the 5% mark. The rate hike provokes U.S. President Donald Trump, who once again demands looser monetary policy, calling the FOMC “hostile”. Across the pond the Bank of England looks poised to deliver a hold as long-term borrowing costs hover near their highest in nearly 30 years. And the EU's offer for Canada to become its first-ever associate member also draws the ire of President Trump, who threatens further trade restrictions on the bloc if those plans progress.
