Many stock markets around the world are also under pressure to adjust after the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) decision to keep interest rates unchanged.
In a statement after the meeting, the Fed noted that economic growth had moderated in the first half of the year, despite a strong labor market and low unemployment. However, inflation remained above the Fed’s 2% target, although it had cooled significantly from the previous quarter.
Unlike the statement in the June meeting, this time the Fed noted that uncertainty about the economic outlook remains high and there is no clear sign to decide to lower interest rates.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell remained cautious in leaving monetary policy options open. Shortly thereafter, the US stock market corrected as the S&P 500 fell 0.12% to 6,362.90 points, while the Dow Jones lost 171.71 points.
