"Holding Steady?"

From Bloomberg

"US stock futures and bonds posted small gains with investors staying on the sidelines before the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision and release of new economic projections. Oil swung between gains and losses.
Bloomberg’s index of the dollar slipped after rising the most in a month in the previous session. S&P 500 contracts gained 0.2%. The yield on 10-year Treasuries fell two basis points to 4.37%.
Fed policymakers face heightened uncertainty as geopolitical tension adds to the inflation and labor market risks that are tied to the Trump administration’s trade policies. While tariffs haven’t so far accelerated price increases, consumers are turning anxious and household finances have worsened.
Officials are widely expected to hold policy steady on Wednesday for a fourth straight meeting."
