8:20 am: Fed to release economic projections after meeting
Federal Reserve officials will indicate where they see GDP, unemployment and inflation heading as the U.S. begins its recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. As the Federal Open Market Committee wraps up its two-day meeting Wednesday, markets are expecting little in the way of policy changes, but will get to see how policymakers see the recovery unfolding. In addition, the Fed will release its "dot plot" of individual members' projections for interest rates. While there likely won't be any shifts soon, the plot will give an indication on whether members see negative rates as a possibility. Chairman Jerome Powell will hold a news conference afterwards. –Cox
