PANews March 19 news, according to Jinshi, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain its current policy stance at the March FOMC meeting. Bank of America Securities analysts expect the Fed to adopt a cautious and prudent policy against the backdrop of rising economic uncertainty. The Fed is likely to prioritize "patience rather than panic" and assess the balance between slowing economic growth and continued inflationary pressures while keeping interest rates stable. Bank of America analysts expect the Fed's latest economic forecasts to reflect stagflationary factors, growth forecasts to weaken, and inflation expectations to be adjusted upward. While the market has speculated on the timing of a possible rate cut, policymakers are likely to reiterate a data-driven approach, emphasizing the need for further clarity on the economic outlook before making any policy shifts. Investors will pay close attention to Fed Chairman Powell's speech to see how the Fed views the changing risks, including supply-side disruptions, labor market resilience, and geopolitical uncertainties.
