5 ETFs Up in Double-Digits Post Fed’s Fourth Rate Hike – July 28, 2022

by Shraddha Sharma

Wall Street rallied on Wednesday following the Fed’s fourth consecutive rate hike decision. While the rally was braod-based, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index had its biggest one-day percentage gain in more than two years, surging 4.1%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.6% and 1.4%, respectively.

With this, most ETFs gained in double digits on the day. Global X Blockchain ETF (BKCH Free Report) led the way higher, jumping 12.6%. This was followed by iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF (IBLC Free Report) , Viridi Bitcoin Miners ETF (RIGZ Free Report) , VanEck Vectors Digital Transformation ETF (DAPP Free Report) and VanEck Digital Assets Mining ETF (DAM Free Report) .

The central bank raised interest rates by 75 bps as expected to fight inflation in the range of 2.25% and 2.5% and said it is “strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2% objective.” It also hinted that it could slow the pace of its rate hike campaign at some point (read: Has the Market Bottomed? 6 ETFs in High Momentum).

Jerome Powell stated, “it was too soon to say whether the Fed would dial down the size of its rate increases to a half-percentage point or a quarter-percentage point at its next meeting in September. But it would be appropriate to slow the pace of rate increases to assess their cumulative impact on the economy.”

Rate hikes increase the cost of borrowing money, which can help slow inflation. But it will also hurt consumer spending as higher rates will result in added costs for consumers already dealing with elevated prices for goods and services. This trend is mainly due to the latest bouts of data that show signs of cooling consumer spending, consumer confidence, hiring and housing activity. The Fed does not believe that the U.S. economy is currently in a recession but thinks that it is softening.
