Minutes of the Fiscal Policy Meeting of the Council Central Reserve It took place on July 26-27 at 06:00 PM GMT (09:00 PM Makkah Time).

To curb high inflation, the US Federal Reserve has raised overnight interest rates by a total of 225 basis points since March.

It is expected to raise its policy rate by another 50 or 75 basis points at its next meeting on September 20-21.

Traders expect a 42.5% chance of a 75bp rate hike, with a 57.5% chance of a 50bp hike at the next Fed meeting.

Meanwhile, output at U.S. factories rose more than expected last month, as output at auto plants and elsewhere rose, indicating strength in manufacturing despite subdued business confidence.
