Fed: raised rates by 25 bps, with inflation still a major concern.
Bonds: the 10-year Treasury yield remains elevated around 4.95%, keeping pressure on rate-sensitive stocks.
Oil: Brent fell roughly 3% after the Fed decision, easing some immediate inflation pressure.
Tech/AI: semiconductor stocks recovered, with Nvidia and AMD among the stronger names, but investors remain sensitive to concerns around AI spending and valuations.
