Fed, meeting begins: markets expect a rate hike, not a cut
The FOMC meeting, the U.S. central bank led by Kevin Warsh, opened today in Washington, with the rate announcement expected tomorrow at 8:00 PM Italian time. According to analysts and markets, the Fed could raise rates by 25 basis points, from the current 3.5%-3.75% to 3.75%-4%, to counter inflation driven by rising energy prices linked to tensions in the Middle East. This marks a reversal from early in the year, when a cut in 2026 was being speculated. The decision has not yet been made: this reflects market expectations, not a done deal.
