S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 9/22/22

Good morning traders! 

The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading above yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 75 basis points to 3.25%, with intentions to increase rates further. The stock market was rattled by Jerome Powell’s unwavering hawkishness in the fight against inflation. “We will keep at it until the job is done,” Powell said. “I wish there were a painless way to do that. There isn’t.” Up to the end of the year, the Fed’s median estimates anticipate further rises of 125 basis points. They predict that the fed funds rate will exceed 4.5% in the upcoming year. Bank of America increased their prediction to a range of 4.75% to 5%, so it might not finish there.

In the news, the Swiss National Bank’s 75 basis-point increase marked the end of negative interest rates in Europe. Since 2015, Switzerland’s interest rates haven’t been positive; the world’s economic climate is unquestionably changing.
