European Stocks Sharply Lower; BOE, SNB Set to Follow Fed's Lead
European stock markets traded sharply lower Thursday as investors digested another large interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve, likely setting the scene for aggressive monetary tightening by the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank. The U.S. central bank lifted rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday as widely expected, and pointed to more rate hikes ahead, a steeper and longer trajectory than markets had priced in. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is now willing to risk weakness in the economy as it moves to rein in inflation.
