According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Federal Reserve has weakened market expectations for recent adjustments to policy interest rates in the May meeting. The minutes will be published at 2:00 AM Thursday, East Eight Time.
The large tariffs announced by Trump have sparked market concerns about a trade war. With the impact of global trade changes on the economy not yet clear, the Federal Reserve has little reason to adjust the 4.25%-4.50% policy interest rate it has maintained since December last year.
Investors expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in the June and July meetings, but to cut rates by 25 basis points in September and December.
