Federal Reserve Decision Preview: Whether to slow down the downsizing plan may be the focus of this week's meeting

The target range of the Federal Reserve's indicator overnight interest rate has remained at 5.25%-5.50% since July last year, and the market is not expected to change during the two-day policy meeting that ends on Wednesday. Some economists say that the Federal Reserve may announce the end of the balance-sheet reduction plan as early as this week's policy meeting. However, the interest rate outlook is uncertain due to high inflation, which may delay the “downsizing” statement until June.

“New Federal Reserve News Agency” looks ahead to this week's FOMC meeting! Interest rate policies, QT reduction, and inflation have all been mentioned!

Timiraos quoted the Chinese proverb “do nothing to fix” at the beginning of the article, believing that this might summarize the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate policy policy. The Federal Reserve may emphasize that it is preparing to keep interest rates unchanged for longer than previously anticipated. Powell may say that the economic forecast released in March is out of date. For the time being, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to see a hawkish shift that suggests that interest rate hikes are more likely than interest rate cuts. Timiraos is uncertain whether the Federal Reserve will officially announce a reduction in QT at this meeting.
