CommSec’s James Gruber says the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates before the end of the year despite forecasts predicting the opposite at the start of 2026. “[It was] a poor day on Wall Street overnight, with the S&P 500 falling 1.4 per cent and the Nasdaq plunging 2.2 per cent,” Mr Gruber told Sky News Australia. “There were two big stories overnight. The first was the fall in technology shares, especially semiconductor shares – they’ve had a barnstorming run year-to-date, but they’ve fallen for two straight sessions, and that’s because of rising expectations of US interest rates going up. “At the start of the year, there were forecasts for it going down this year. Now, there are forecasts for it to go up before the end of the year. “The other big story related to that with interest rate rises is that investors are getting into the US dollar, and it rose to one-year highs versus other major currencies.” Presented by CommSec.
