On the Federal Reserve side, investors will be left wondering how they view the Fed's stance, especially the recent strong economic report, as it could give officials a reason to continue raising interest rates. We are also awaiting further guidance on the Fed's stance, including how that will affect its policy stance. However, inflation and job creation have slowed since the September meeting, suggesting the Fed will end its tightening cycle without raising rates for the remainder of 2023. Markets have already priced in a pause in Wednesday's announcement, and while a December rate hike remains unlikely, the central bank's stance is likely to impact expectations for its final meeting in 2023.
