Meanwhile, the release of the Fed’s September minutes provided no significant fresh insight into monetary policy.
The Fed maintained a hawkish tone at the meeting, leaving rates unchanged in a target range of 5.25-5.50%.However, a number of FOMC members have become less hawkish about the need for future rate hikes in recent days.
