Markets were lifted by a rebound in technology stocks after the recent plunge. Asian Markets closed mostly higher on Wednesday.
The Fed minutes indicated that the central bank intends to move “expeditiously” to a more neutral monetary policy stance. The minutes showed most participants agreed additional 50 basis point increases would likely be appropriate at the “next couple of meetings.”
