The Fed signaled potential further hikes this year, prompting cautious investor sentiment globally. Treasury yields rose, while sectors sensitive to borrowing costs, such as commodities and property, faced pressure. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh emphasized the need to maintain credibility in inflation control.
