0705 GMT - Bitcoin rises slightly as U.S. stock futures point to a higher open, recovering from falls after Wednesday's interest-rate rise by the Federal Reserve. The Fed lifted rates by 25 basis points, which was more than 90% priced by markets, according to LSEG. However, the unanimous vote in favor of the move along with officials' projections for at least one more rate increase briefly hit market sentiment. Tech stocks helped to limit the impact of the decision though as the Philly Semiconductor Index advanced, Deutsche Bank analysts say in a note. Oil prices are also lower as headlines suggest an improved outlook for oil flows out of the Middle East, they say. Bitcoin rises 0.5% to $76,474, LSEG data show.(renae.dyer@wsj.com)
