Morning Report – Thursday 22nd September

FTSE to open at 7,165 (-73 pts)

US stocks moved lower on Wednesday after Fed Chair Jay Powell refused to rule out a recession after implementing a third consecutive 0.75 percentage point rate hike.

“No one knows whether this process will lead to a recession or if so, how significant that recession would be” commented Powell – causing the S&P 500 to finish the day -1.71% lower.

Asian stocks have mirrored the losses on Wall Street due to the potential contagion effects of a US recession.

Focus now shifts to the Bank of England with the Monetary Policy Committee announces its August interest rate decision at lunchtime today.
