The central bank announced a 0.25 percentage-point rate rise, marking its first increase in three years. This decision followed the Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, stating that inflation had remained 'too high for too long.' On Thursday morning, spot gold traded at $4,288 an ounce in Asia, after having fallen to $4,234 in Hong Kong at 3 am. Separately, stock futures edged higher in premarket hours as markets digested the hawkish rate path following the central bank's hike.
