Other central banks are joining Powell's hawkish stance. In a surprising move, the Bank of England raised its main interest rate from 4.5% to 5%, the highest increase since February, reaching the highest level since 2008. Recent data strongly indicate that inflation will continue. The market was taken aback by this action. Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at OANDA, said that the BOE's anti-inflation battle will force them to support the UK economy.
Norway's central bank also raised its interest rate by 50 basis points on Thursday, reaching the highest level in 15 years at 3.75%. Additionally, the central bank signaled another hike in August, with interest rates predicted to rise to 4.25% in the fall.
