HTX Chief Analyst: Fed's Hawkish Stance Aims to Restore Policy Credibility

HTX chief analyst Andy stated that the Federal Reserve's recent 25 basis point rate hike and unanimous support from officials signal a firm hawkish shift. By prioritizing inflation control despite economic stability, the Fed aims to rebuild its policy credibility. While the "higher for longer" interest rate environment may pressure gold and boost the dollar in the short term, the clarity in policy path could reduce uncertainty and benefit risk assets in the medium to long term.
