Daly's statement reinforces the Federal Reserve's commitment to tightening monetary policy despite recent rate hikes. Higher rates reduce borrowing capacity and dampen demand across the economy, pressuring equities and extending bond yield curves upward while supporting the dollar as a safe-haven asset.
