“Local and regional equities went on a relief rally as the Fed announced a widely anticipated 50 bps rate hike during its policy setting meeting yesterday,” said Regina Capital Development Corporation Managing Director Luis Limlingan. He added that, “The Wednesday moves also came on the back of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s statement ruling out a 75 bps rate hike in future meetings.”
Philstocks Financial Senior Supervisor for Research Japhet Tantiangco said “The local market extended its rally on the back of the positive spillovers from Wall Street.“ He noted that, “This came as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that policy rate hikes more aggressive than their latest 50 basis point increase is not under consideration, tempering worries of a higher interest rate hike in their succeeding meetings.”
