■ U.S. Rate Direction: A Key Variable for the Domestic Stock Market

The direction of U.S. interest rates remains a major variable for the domestic stock market. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) currently maintains the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50–3.75%.

With U.S. price trends easing somewhat recently, weight is being placed on the outlook that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will keep rates at current levels in September rather than raising them again. However, some within the Fed argue that additional tightening is needed to firmly contain inflation, meaning the rate path has not settled in a single direction.
