In the evening, market participants are waiting for the minutes of the most recent Fed meeting and are hoping for further indications of the extent of future rate hikes. After hefty interest rate hikes over the course of the year, the Fed is expected to ease up on its inflationary wars soon. Instead of the 0.75 percentage points that has been usual in recent months, an increase of 0.50 points is currently expected for the next Fed meeting in December.
