The Federal Reserve raised interest rates and signaled further tightening, which contributed to a pullback in Brent crude oil prices, trading 1 per cent lower below $105 a barrel. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan is debating rate increases in response to inflation risks, with some analysts suggesting bolder action should be considered. These policy moves occurred amid concerns over supply disruptions in the Middle East and optimism surrounding potential peace deals.
