Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said yesterday that the central bank is ready to raise interest rates by half a percentage point at its next meeting if necessary, turning a more aggressive tone on curbing inflation than it used just a few days ago.
Surprisingly, such an announcement did not make the stock markets sell-off, and the main indices even closed the day in positive territory and continue to grow gently in Europe today:

Markets heard the chairman's message and reacted sharply, causing Treasury yields to soar as investors raised bets that the Fed would raise interest rates by half a point in May to counter the highest inflation in 40 years.
Economists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. led by Jan Hatzius took these comments as a hawkish signal and now expect the Fed to raise interest rates by 50 basis points at its May and June meetings and then raise them by four basis points in the second half of the year.
