[Institution: Pay Attention to Powell's Remarks on the Impact of the Middle East Situation and His Statement on Whether He Will Remain as Governor] Reported by Jinse Finance, on March 18, Huatai Securities pointed out that in the early hours of March 19 (Thursday) Beijing time, the Federal Reserve will announce its decision from the March FOMC meeting. The recent Middle East conflict has led to a significant rise in oil prices, and the market is watching whether the Federal Reserve will turn hawkish due to potential stagflation risks. Huatai Securities believes that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged at the March meeting, lower growth forecasts, raise inflation forecasts, but maintain the rate cut guidance in the dot plot. Attention should be paid to Powell's remarks on the impact of the Middle East situation and his statement on whether he will remain as a governor. (Jin10)
