• Markets Bracing for Higher Rates in Wake of this Week's Fed Meeting
  👉️ TICKERS: SHV, SHY, TLT, IEF
  Rising inflation and climbing Treasury yields have already pushed investors to shift the narrative from interest rate cuts to potential rate hikes. Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee update made that outcome look a lot more realistic, maintains Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro US.

  👉️ TICKERS: AVGO, ORCL
