Markets await Federal Reserve rate decision
Global markets are awaiting the decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve next week regarding interest rates, amid mixed expectations between holding steady and raising rates to combat the accelerating inflation, which reached 3.7% in September 2026, driven by rising energy prices. The latest rate hike was 25 basis points, pushing the rate to a range between 3.75% and 4%. The Federal Reserve faces a challenge between containing inflation and maintaining borrowing costs, while the U.S. president is pressuring to lower interest rates to ease the burden of public debt.
