The odds of a 50 basis point (bps) interest rate hike by the Fed have majorly faded, however, the other school of thought is still standing with a 25 bps rate hike expectation. Citing former senior Bank for International Settlements official and ex-New York Fed research director Stephen Cecchetti, MNI reported on Wednesday, “The Fed will likely approve a quarter-point interest rate increase next week as focus shifts from strong economic data to restoring confidence in the banking system.”
S&P500 futures have recovered a majority of Wednesday’s losses in the Asian session as investors have started shrugging off the uncertainty associated with global banking turmoil after Credit Suisse’s debacle and Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB) collapse. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has turned sideways near the immediate support of 104.60 and is expected to remain on tenterhooks ahead.
Meanwhile, the oil price looks vulnerable above $68.00 after a recovery move as tightening policies for the banking system by central banks could dent oil demand further. It is worth noting that Canada is the leading exporter of oil to the United States and lower oil prices would impact the Canadian Dollar.
