The rate raise by the Fed is a pressure

Market today
We expect the SET to drop, pressured by worries the Fed will step up its interest rate by 75 bps at the next FOMC meeting, though Powell earlier said it wouldn’t, plus an economic slowdown as hinted at in a number of quarterly earnings reports. US nonfarm payroll will be reported tonight. The SET supports are 1,635 and 1,625 and the resistance range is between 1,655–1,660.
