The Federal Reserve's dot plot chart indicates only one interest rate cut this year, with a less hawkish stance having little impact on the stock market. Last week's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a 3.3% year-on-year increase, lower than expected, with no growth on a monthly basis. Core CPI, a key focus for the Fed, also fell below market expectations.

Factors such as progress in inflation and questioning of employment data authenticity by Fed Chair Powell suggest a potential future rate cut. Global stock markets hit historic highs.
