US stocks gain as Federal Reserve signals rates pullback, Australian dollar jumps above 67 US cents

She told Bloomberg last week's inflation data was "reassuring" after US consumer prices eased back over October to 7.7 over the year., sparking a share market rally."I think what's really important to emphasise is we've done alot but we have additional work to do both on raising rates and sustaining restraint to bring inflation down to 2 per cent over time."

The market is betting that the central bank may raise rates by 0.5 percentage points, instead of the supersized 0.75 percentage points that it has announced four times in a row this year.
