The Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting begins today and the market consensus expects the central bank to hold key interest rates in the range of 4.25% to 4.50% .

Despite this, analysts believe that Chairman Jerome Powell could pivot to a measured stance while being on standby as the White House remains firm on its policies.

When a sharp market decline risks economic damage, the “ Fed put” implies the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates.

The “ Trump Put ” means that the administration would adjust its policies to avoid a downturn if market fears intensified.
