【2021.12.16】Market Review and Future Considerations
【Stock Price】
[U.S. Stocks]
U.S. stocks yesterday rose sharply with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up by 383.25 points, the S&P 500 up 75.76 points, and the Nasdaq up 327.94 points.
The FOMC announced at 4:00 this morning.
The policy indicated accelerating the pace of the balance sheet reduction from quantitative easing and moving up the anticipated end date to March 2022.
Among policy rate projections, the committee suggested that by 2022 the near-zero interest rate policy would be lifted and three rate hikes would be implemented.
The market seemed to buy back after the event as a relief from having completed the event.
It’s the usual pattern of falling before the event and rising after the event.
Seasonally, it tends to rise toward Christmas, so we are looking at it with an upward view.
