The majority of the stock exchanges are expecting an interest rate hike of 0.50 percentage points. The Fed would thus ease its more aggressive monetary policy stance to curb inflation with several interest rate hikes of 0.75 points. According to market analyst Konstantin Oldenburger from CMC Markets, the more exciting question is how many steps will follow.

The MDax lost 0.55 percent on Wednesday to 25,874.84 points and overall Europe was mostly moderately down. In the USA, however, the most important indices each rose by a little more than half a percent.
