Shares in the US closed with mixed moods after the Fed raised interest rates for the second time this year.
Dow Jones rose 45 points, while the SP500 declined by 0.1% due to the drop in oil prices, which in turn devalued the energy sector.
Fed chairman Janet Yelan said the FED is considering a further rise in interest rates by the end of the year and shrinking the balance, despite concerns over inflation. Most members of the Fed are arguing about their position and expect inflation to reach the desired two percent to 12 months.
The dollar index is still in red territory for the day, but has managed to cover over 80% of the day's losses and is currently moving at levels around 96.88.
