Is the interest rate hike cycle coming to an end?

A 0.25% interest rate hike was carried out at the recent FOMC meeting.

While the interest rate hike itself was as expected by the market, the following remarks by Chairman Powell of the FRB were key.

The statement included a feeling that 'the possibility of halting the interest rate hikes is approaching,' and I sensed that they are aware of the next stage.

The rate hike cycle is likely to end at this FOMC meeting, but attention is now focused on how much the inflation will slow down in the current high interest rate environment.

We would like to carefully observe what direction the FRB will take while balancing with the credit risk of banks.
