Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting should provide color on how officials view the risks to their economic forecast. Here’s what to watch
The Federal Reserve releases the minutes of its March 19-20 meeting on Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT, providing more detail about officials’ discussions where most signaled they didn’t expect to raise interest rates this year.
Officials also announced plans after the meeting to slow the runoff of their $4 trillion asset portfolio in May and to stop reducing the Fed’s holdings of Treasury securities after September. They have said the decision to pause rate increases is separate from the decisions on slowing the balance sheet runoff.
