US FRB Focus on Monetary Policy Meeting “3 Consecutive 0.75% Rate Hikes” from 20th

The Federal Reserve Board, which is the central bank of the United States, will hold a meeting to decide monetary policy for two days from the 20th.

With record-breaking inflation continuing, the central bank is likely to decide to raise interest rates significantly, and the focus is on whether it will raise interest rates by 0.75% for the third time in a row.

In the United States, the consumer price index announced on the 13th last month rose 8.3%, exceeding market expectations.

Food and housing costs, which are directly linked to household budgets, have risen sharply, and the index excluding volatile food and energy also surpassed the previous month's level, and record inflation continues.

Under these circumstances, the FRB is expected to hold a meeting to decide monetary policy on the 20th and 21st and decide to raise interest rates significantly to curb record inflation.

We have decided to raise the interest rate by 0.75% for the second consecutive time in June and July, and this time, it is a big focus whether we will raise the interest rate by 0.75% for the third time in a row.

The meeting will also provide participants' expectations for the pace of future rate hikes.

Amidst concerns over economic deterioration, such as the cooling of the housing market due to rapid interest rate hikes, what course of interest rate hikes will the meeting members present, and what kind of thinking will Chairman Powell convey at the post-meeting press conference? It will also attract attention.
