💡Wall Street rebounds after Wednesday's bearish reaction to the Fed's decision
U.S. stocks are making strong gains to end the week, after investors rebounded following Powell's hawkish comments on Wednesday. Although the Fed's chief banker hinted that an uncertain economic backdrop in the face of inflationary pressures could lead to a slower pace of interest rate cuts, for the stock market itself, the overall direction of monetary changes held the same, namely a gradual easing of financial conditions at home. However, a downward correction seemed warranted, in view of the fact that global indexes had been hitting new historic peaks for days.
Today, the central bank's preferred measure of inflation for November turned out to be weak and did not point to major inflation problems. The core PCE index, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.1% from October and 2.8% from a year earlier. The monthly increase was the slowest since May of this year.
