| Central bankers gather this week to assess the state of the economy and assess a path forward. Investors believe that the Fed is expected to keep its benchmark rate steady as they give themselves time to assess the impacts of rising rates. As central bankers gather Tuesday to begin two days of deliberations, they’ll have fresh inflation data in hand which may lead the officials to signal if they believe a rate cut is on the horizon. |
| With indications demand across the economy is cooling as the year draws to a close, all eyes will be on the Fed’s expectations for future policy. A future rate cut is, of course, bullish for stocks but the timing may be important as the balancing act of inflation and a soft landing embarks on its final chapter. |
