Impact on Market
Raising interest rates is beneficial to the US dollar.
Why It Matters
The rise and fall of interest rates reflect the health of the economy. During a period of booming economic development, an interest rate hike means rapid economic growth, high investment returns, and is beneficial to the US dollar.
