Later in the day, US President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, stated that the Federal Reserve was "out of control".
The comments were the latest in a row of the president's criticism of interest rate boost, which caused the downfall in the stock market.

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by more than 3 percent, or 831.83 points — the third biggest point drop on record. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell by more than 4 percent, or 156 points, in the worst percentage decline since June 2016.
