This Thursday early morning Beijing time, the Federal Reserve will announce its first interest rate decision of the year. Currently, the market expects a probability of over 95% that the Federal Reserve will keep the current interest rate unchanged. Investors will focus on Fed Chair Powell's speech amid the ongoing judicial investigation controversy, as well as the "dot plot" reflecting Fed officials' forecasts for future interest rate movements. Market observers believe that a series of recent data releases indicate that the US economy and labor market remain stable, and the next rate cut window by the Federal Reserve may be delayed until after Powell's term ends in May. Additionally, the new Fed Chair candidate may be announced, the US government faces the risk of another shutdown at the end of this month, and developments in the Greenland dispute will also add uncertainty to the market.
