Mars Finance News, March 18 — Daniel Raufni, Head of Fixed Income at Mediolanum International Funds Management, stated that before the Gulf situation worsened, the market had already expected the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged at this week’s meeting, and this has now become a certainty. Recent economic data shows that inflation continues to slow and the labor market is deteriorating. The institution originally expected a dovish stance with no change this time. However, the situation has changed. It is now expected that the Federal Reserve will adopt a cautious and watchful attitude. The policy statement is likely to mention the risks of war and include balanced language regarding future interest rate paths, emphasizing both upside inflation risks and downside labor market risks.
