The Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that it would keep its key interest rate unchanged. While the central bank forecasts inflation to ease this year, the progress is slower than expected, Chairman Jerome Powell conceded at a press conference, adding the Iran war has led to a surge in oil prices, which was expected to exacerbate inflation in the short term.

Subsequently, US stocks logged deeper downswing, with the DJIA slumping 768 points or 1.6% to 46,225, marking a new closing low for the year. The S&P 500 sank 91 points or 1.4% to 6,624. The Nasdaq slid 327 points or 1.5% to 22,152.
