Fed's Policy and Market Reaction
The Federal Reserve maintained its current policy stance in the FOMC meeting, with no changes in the 2024 median dot indicating three potential cuts by year-end. Despite minimal alterations, there was a strong positive market reaction following the meeting, possibly due to fears of a more hawkish stance post recent inflation data.
