The Federal Reserve Federal Open Market Committee meeting announcement is due Wednesday 28 April:
- statement at 1800 GMT
- Powell press conference at 1830GMT
A real quick snippet via Merrill Lynch:
- we expect Chair Powell and the FOMC to give a more positive view of the economy but reiterate that risks remain from the virus and further progress is needed before a shift in policy.
