- The markets seem to be eagerly waiting for the Fed's rate hike on Wednesday. But there is still debate going on whether Central bank will hold the rate hike for a while which has already exceeded nine years.
- In 2014 Fed has given key focus on employment, consistent increase in jobs and reduction in jobless rate have forced Fed to taper QE3 and paved way for higher interest rates. But decline in inflation is forcing the Fed to delay rate hike until now.
- The key reason for decline in inflationary pressure was mainly due to sell-off in global crude oil prices which broke to new lows last week.
- The FOMC is expected to hike rate at least by 25bps today with a monetary policy statement accompanied by a hawkish tone.
