Domestic stock markets are expected to open lower on Wednesday ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rate hike.
According to Emkay Global, repricing of the Fed since the Jackson Hole (JH) conference and the searing August inflation print imply that markets now expect over 70 bps rate hike.
"A 75 bps hike is sealed in this week's FOMC, but a 100 bps hike is not being ruled out. The guidance/dot plot is likely to tighten even more, if Fed delivers a hike of 75 bps vs 100 bps," it added.
