The FED increase its rate

The FED has finally decided to increase its rate of 0.25% (from 2% to 2.25%) at this Wednesday's meeting. This announcement was planned by the markets and therefore had no influence on them.


The Federal Reserve has also confirmed that it will increase its rate before the end of the year. She announced plans for three rate increases for 2019 and one for 2020.


The rise in Fed rates is accompanied by higher interest rates from other central banks such as the Czech Central Bank and the Hong Kong central bank. We have therefore entered a rate hike that could mean the end of accommodative monetary policy by central banks.


The Fed, however, has said it will not change its monetary policy at the moment even if it abandons the term "accommodating" from its press releases.
