Equities and gold slide, dollar gains after Federal Reserve ups economic forecasts, suggesting less chance of stimulus.
"The recovery is here, it's well along," Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said at a press conference on Wednesday after the decision to leave US interest rates at 0.25%, as expected. The dollar, meanwhile, rose for a third day against a basket of major currencies, to last trade up 0.1% at 93.21, set for its first monthly gain since April. Gold, which tends to move inversely to the dollar, fell by nearly 1% to $1,951 an ounce, set for its largest one-day loss in two weeks.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have hit record highs this month, fueled largely by the expectation that the Fed will firstly, keep rates low for an extended period of time, and secondly, will keep the option of providing more fiscal support on the table.
Time for a new meeting. Or vaccine optimism?
