The week ahead will be highlighted by the Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting announcement and Chairman Powell’s follow-up press conference. It is well documented that the Fed plans on keeping interest rates low for the foreseeable future as the central bank has laid their monetary policy on the table so there shouldn’t be much anticipation in terms of their rate policy. However, many may want to listen to their economic forecasts and expectations moving forward.
