The Federal Reserve has decided to take a pause after 10 consecutive rate hikes taking it up to 5-5.25% in their efforts to combat the inflation.

We speak with Ray Choy, Chief Economist, Malaysian Rating Corporation (MARC) to get his views on the latest policy and tone from Fed chairman Jerome Powell, and what all this means for our own OPR and the Ringgit.
