الأسواق العالمية تترقب اجتماع «الفيدرالي» وتوقعات بخفض الفائدة

The global markets are closely anticipating the meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve and its decision on interest rates this evening (Wednesday), as forecasts indicate that the U.S. central bank is likely to cut rates by 25 basis points, although some analysts see a possibility of a 50 basis point cut.

Traders expect a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates, with a focus on the statements that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will make after the decision is announced.

The markets experienced a sense of uncertainty yesterday (Tuesday), and U.S. stocks declined slightly, with the S&P 500 index falling by 0.13%. However, it still closed above the 6600 level that it broke on (Monday), even achieving a new record during trading yesterday (Tuesday).

Attention will also be focused on whether policymakers discussed a larger cut of 50 basis points, as U.S. President Donald Trump moves forward with an effort to restructure a pillar of the U.S. economy, raising concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve.

President Donald Trump has called on Powell to make a "larger" cut to interest rates, and it seems that investors were reluctant to take any major steps before the conclusion of the Federal Reserve meeting.
