Overnight in the U.S., the main benchmarks closed mixed with the the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching its best winning streak since 1987, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite ended the trading day with declines.

The Fed’s FOMC on Wednesday raised its funds rate by a quarter percentage point to a target range of 5.25% to 5.5%. The midpoint of that target range would be the highest level for the benchmark rate since early 2001.
