Most of the currencies and stock markets in Latin America operated with losses on Thursday, after the announcement of the Federal Reserve (FED) about the rise of 50 basis points in interest rates, the seventh rise of the year.

This is a minor adjustment compared to the previous four, however, the Fed has indicated that there will be more increases as inflation begins to subside.

Fed policymakers expect the short-term rate to reach a range of 5% to 5.25% by the end of 2023. That suggests the central bank is prepared to raise rates by an additional three-quarters of a point and will leave them at that level until the end of the other year. Some economists were already expecting a half-point increase.
