The Federal Reserve delivered a second 75 basis point rate hike in a row. Decision was in-line with expectations and therefore did not result in any major move in the markets. However, volatility picked up during Powell's press conference, especially after the Fed Chair said that rate increase may have to slow down. Interestingly, this was one of few dovish mentions during the whole press conference as Powell sounded rather hawkish. A point to note is that a similar surge occurred after the meeting in June but back then it proved to be short-lived.
