5 Things to Watch for in the Fed Minutes
April 6, 2016
Federal Reserve officials entered their March 15-16 policy meeting
with a more downbeat forecast on the economy and said they likely
wouldn’t raise short-term interest rates this year as much as they had
previously anticipated. After
lifting rates by a quarter of a percentage point in December, the Fed
has held them steady since. The minutes of their gathering, due out Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT,
should shed more light on their discussions about soft global growth,
financial-market volatility and the likely path of rates.
