The market is waiting for the results of the Fed meeting, which will be known today at 21:00 Moscow time (14:00 Washington time). At the same time, according to a survey conducted by RIA News, experts believe that the regulator will refrain from raising the rate and, on the contrary, will take opposite actions. According to analysts, this year there will be no increase at all, writes RIA Novosti. The last increase was held in December last year, after which the Fed has not yet taken such decisions at subsequent meetings (of which there were 3). Some experts are inclined to believe that the rate will be lowered next year. The confidence that the current meeting will not be followed by an increase in the rate, sounds in the words of Scott MacDonald, analyst of the American Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The expert connects cautious position of the Fed with the fact that the ECB plans to launch a new program on granting long-term loans to banks in autumn.
