How TickerGrove checks a claim
Markets
The 10-year gilt yield hit its highest since 2007 and Treasury yields rose after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said more rate increases are likely, though not necessarily at back-to-back meetings.
Federal Reserve
The record of the September meeting shows a committee united on its quarter-point increase and largely expecting another, with inflation risks seen tilted higher and the jump in bond yields not treated as a brake.
Economy
A unanimous vote lifted the repo rate a quarter point to 5.5%, and a new "calibrated tightening" stance tells borrowers the next move is a hike or a pause, not a cut.
Markets
The benchmark rose 0.58% to 7,818.93 and the Nasdaq set a second straight record, while Seagate and Western Digital fell again on worries about more hard-drive supply from Toshiba.
Economy
Imports jumped $17.2 billion on crude oil, gold and semiconductors, and capital goods imports set a record. The gap was wider than economists expected.
Economy
Fuel costs dominated September's survey. The headline index slipped to 54.9 and hiring turned up, leaving the Fed with a services sector that is still growing while its costs climb.
Markets
The Ibovespa was up more than 8% in the afternoon, on pace for its best day since March 2020, and long-dated rate futures fell more than a full percentage point. The Oct. 25 runoff will decide whether the move lasts.
Markets
