Look for quiet now until 2 pm through 3:30 pm when volatility will occur, digesting the policy statement and Powell’s press conference. The Federal Open Market Committee will keep rates steady at its meeting in a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high. The rate decision and committee forecasts will be released at 2 pm in Washington. Chair Jerome Powell will hold a press conference 30 minutes later. The increase in food and energy costs, usually ignored by the Fed is going to get questions for Powell this afternoon.
