The US Federal Reserve will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday. More than 70% of analysts polled predict a 25 basis point hike to 4.75-5%. In addition to the decision on the key rate, the regulator will also present updated macroeconomic forecasts.
According to FHN Financial senior economist Chris Lowe, a 50 basis point hike would be reckless, but keeping the rate up would mean that the banking crisis has supplanted the fight against inflation. Under the circumstances, a 25 basis point increase seems right.
