The sharp rise in U.S. bond interest rates rattled investors, Fed Chairman Powell's hawkish rhetoric spooked U.S. stocks, Tesla fell 5 percent, and the S&P ended an eight-day winning streak.

"The FOMC is committed to achieving a stance of monetary policy that is restrictive enough to bring inflation down to 2 per cent over time, and we do not believe we have reached such a stance," Mr Powell said on Thursday.

Still, Powell said, "The Fed will continue to tread carefully to address the risk of being misled by several months of good data, and the risk of tightening too much." If appropriate, the Fed will not hesitate to raise rates."

On the same day, Federal Reserve Governor Bowman also released a "hawk" message, saying that she expects the FOMC will need to continue to raise interest rates several times to bring inflation back down to the 2% target.

The market basically believes the Fed has completed this cycle of rate hikes. According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders see less than a 10 percent chance that the FOMC will raise rates at its Dec. 12-13 meeting and expect the Fed to start cutting rates next year, possibly around June.

In addition, the U.S. government shutdown deadline (November 18) is approaching, and the new speaker of the House of Representatives has less than a week to start the opening battle, but the new speaker has not yet indicated to top Republicans what path he will take to fund the government, either publicly or privately, and if Congress does not act by next Friday, the possibility of a government shutdown will increase. And further expose internal divisions.
