The equity market continues its recovery as investors’ expectations became tempered on the scale of rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. Market participants were previously fixed on a 75 basis point hike from the Federal Reserve at the next policy meeting but falling oil prices and a decline in the inflationary pressure as confirmed by CPI and PPI data released last week from the US. changed the narratives. 
I envisage a decline in inflation to increase consumer confidence amidst a rapidly growing Labour market in the United States.

The haven greenback has all going for it after a series of disappointing data from China earlier today fueled worries of a global scale recession. The People’s Bank of China unexpectedly cut its key interest rate at its policy meeting earlier today to support an economy that a series of Covid-19 lockdowns and downturns in property prices have pressured.

I expect this development to benefit the greenback and still act as an impetus to further recovery for global stocks.
