The Federal Reserve Board of the United States (Federal Reserve System) has been holding its first monetary policy decision-making meeting since the 16th under the new Chairman Warsh, who was appointed by President Trump, and will announce the results at 3:00 a.m. on the 18th Japan time. Next, we plan to hold a press conference from around 3:30 a.m. Japan time on the 18th. As financial markets speculate that the Fed will raise interest rates as early as this year in order to curb the rise in prices due to the situation in Iran, new Chairman Warsh's remarks at the post-meeting press conference are in the spotlight.
