Summary
- The Fed is fully expected to keep benchmark rates unchanged at its policy meeting today, the first to be led by new Chairman Kevin Warsh.
- Analysts anticipate a more hawkish tone from Warsh, including the removal of language favoring future rate cuts and a tougher stance on inflation risks, even as markets expect rates to stay steady through year-end.
