However, some bankers would have preferred that the interest rates not be raised until financial market worries had abated. Monetary policy still had some work to do to drive inflation down.
US500 is still trading near the upper resistance line at 4200 points. Bullish momentum is weakening and bearish divergence appeared on the MACD indicator therefore any stronger impulse in upward direction seems to be unlikely. Investors are waiting for more macroeconomic data and the earning season to end.
