Federal Reserve Expected to Maintain Key Interest Rates Amid Economic Uncertainty

According to BlockBeats, Francois Rimeu, a strategist at Credit Mutuel Asset Management, highlighted in a report that the main focus of this week's Federal Reserve meeting will be revisions to economic forecasts and the dot plot. Adjustments related to economic policy are expected to reflect a slowdown in growth and more persistent inflation than anticipated, despite some surprising developments in recent months and a weakening labor market. In the context of stagflation risks and high uncertainty, the Federal Reserve is likely to reaffirm its cautious stance. Consequently, unless hard data clearly justifies easing policies, the Federal Reserve is expected to delay any new rate cuts. This strategy aligns with market expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain key interest rates unchanged this week.
