The US Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged when it announces its policy decision on Wednesday, marking the first Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
Markets are largely pricing in a pause, with policymakers expected to maintain the benchmark interest rate in the 3.5-3.75% range. However, investors will be watching closely for clues on inflation, the future rate path and how Warsh plans to shape the central bank's communication strategy.
