In the United States, all eyes are on the U.S. Federal Reserve as it prepares to unveil its latest policy decision at 2 p.m. ET. While no change to the benchmark interest rate is anticipated, analysts and investors will be closely parsing the Fed's statement and subsequent press conference for insights into its future course. Despite previous expectations of multiple rate cuts, the unexpectedly robust performance of the U.S. economy has tempered such forecasts. As of now, the swaps market is pricing in just one cut for the remainder of the year, likely toward the end of 2024.
