The US Federal Reserve will begin its two-day meeting today to discuss the appropriate monetary policy for the latest developments in the US economy, as its decisions will be released on Wednesday, amid strong expectations of the interest rates remaining unchanged at 2.50%.
The financial markets are eagerly awaiting the meeting as it is expected to provide clear signals about the possibility of cutting US interest rates over the next few months to support the economy in the face of surrounding risks, especially the country's trade wars against several countries.
