Fed Expected to Hold Rates Steady as Rate Cut Pause Begins

The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday in a pause that investors see lasting beyond U.S. central bank chief Jerome Powell's final meetings in March and April, with his successor expected to take office by the summer.

There are signs that unemployment has stabilized, and the economy could be picking up. At the same time, inflation remains stubbornly above the Fed's 2 percent target. All those trends argue for keeping rates where they are.

The Fed will release its policy decision at 2 p.m. EST, and Powell is scheduled to begin a press conference half an hour later to elaborate on the rate decision and economic outlook.
