On June 17, while investors have no doubt about the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain the federal funds rate target range at 3.50%–3.75%, analysts at Crédit Agricole pointed out in a report that this monetary policy meeting is still one of the most important of the year. 'This will be Kevin Warsh's first meeting as FOMC Chair since taking office, and he will face a daunting task,' said the global market strategist. He noted that the new Fed Chair not only needs to assess the economic situation but may also push for changes, particularly in the central bank's communication strategy. 'His first actions and initial statements will be closely watched, as transitions at the world's most influential monetary institution typically put pressure on capital markets.' (Jinshi)
