US Stocks and Bonds Rally as Oil Prices Decline Following Fed Rate Hike
US stocks and bonds are rallying after an initial sell-off triggered by the Federal Reserve's decision to hike interest rates.

While US markets rebound, Asian stocks showed mixed results. Gold has gained value, and the US dollar has paused its rally.
Why it matters
The Federal Reserve's rate hike initially caused markets to slip, reflecting investor anxiety over borrowing costs. This rebound is driven by a shift in sentiment as energy costs drop and Treasury yields stabilize. Historical data suggests the S&P 500 typically falls an average 1.1% in late September before recovering in October.
