FOMC statement

Events of the day

Today, the key event will be the Fed’s decision on the interest rates. It is expected that the Fed will leave the interest rate at the previous level of 1.75%. At the same time, investors expect the Central Bank to take an aggressive attitude. it is recommended to pay attention to the comments of the Fed’s representatives, which can point to further rates of tightening the monetary policy. But that won’t prevent traders from focusing on each line of the central bank’s policy statement for clues into the size and speed of future interest rate increases.

The Fed raised rates for the sixth time last month and promised to continue pushing them higher as long as economic growth remains steady and inflation appears to be heading toward its 2% goal, which it has undershot for most of the recovery in a reflection of weak momentum and soft wage growth.
