$USDC $XRP The vast majority of actors in the financial world have few doubts about the outcome of the Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. The Fed is expected to leave interest rates at the level they have been since December, in a range of 4.25% to 4.50%.

Its officials have stated that before making decisions, they want to gauge how the economy will respond to the magnitude of the protectionist offensive launched by the U.S. president.

Although the usual economic indicators show increasing nervousness, official data remains contained (4.2% unemployment in April, 2.3% inflation in March, slightly above the Fed's 2% target).

The problem is what is to come. In their last meeting, Fed officials lowered their forecasts for the world's largest economy, anticipating less growth, more inflation, and more unemployment.
