Morning Report 9 Sep 22: US market lifts for a 2nd day

The US sharemarket rose for a second day despite hawkish comments from the Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who said the central bank ‘is strongly committed’ to fighting inflation and won’t let up ‘until the job is done’. Keep in mind this essentially reiterates comments made a fortnight ago, which contributed to the recent selloff in markets.
