US stock industry 'skyrocketed' amid rate rise



Sky News enterprise Reporter Ed Boyd says the stock industry in America “skyrocketed” about 3 per cent last night.

“It was quite surprising,” Mr Boyd told Sky News Australia.

It comes after the US Federal Reserve raised its official loan charge rates by 0.5 per cent – the highest rate hike in 22 years.

“Normally when loan charge rates rise, markets fall,” Mr Boyd said.

“But that didn’t happen overnight.

“That’s because of the comments made by the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, assuring investors in the industry that he wouldn’t be hiking loan charge rates at a much more aggressive level of 0.75 per cent.”
