Weekly Edge

At the end of the trading week, the team at NewEdge Wealth publishes its commentary on the week that was, as well as some insights into what it means for clients looking ahead.

The Fed Waves Through a Window at Markets

Before this week, the Federal Reserve had not released updated economic and interest rate forecasts since March 19th. That sure feels like a long time ago. While members of the central bank’s monetary policy committee (FOMC) speak publicly all the time, we finally received an update on Wednesday to their collective thinking about how the U.S. economy is performing and what measures might be needed to help keep it in balance.

Heartbreaker
