Many investors believe the Fed will leave rates unchanged on Wednesday, pausing after ten consecutive federal funds rate hikes. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, the probability of the status quo was 94.2% on Wednesday morning.

The markets were reinforced in the idea of the status quo by the inflation figures released Tuesday in the United States. Consumer prices in the United States rose by 4% year on year in May, after rising 4.9% in April, the US Department of Labor announced on Tuesday

After the announcement of this slowdown in inflation, Wall Street finished higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes maintaining their highest levels in more than a year.

Two-year and 10-year US Treasury bond yields rose on Tuesday in response to US inflation figures. “Overall inflation and core inflation have been in line with expectations, allowing the Fed to pause to assess the situation.

The euro fell slightly against the dollar on Wednesday morning. However, the slowdown in inflation in the United States in May and the monetary support announced by China on Tuesday provide a positive backdrop for risk assets ahead of the Fed's decision Wednesday evening, ING economists say in a study.
