Investors are closely monitoring the outcome of the <a href="https://u.today/fed-set-to-release-crucial-comments-for-markets-how-it-impacts-crypto" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Federal Reserve's</a> latest policy meeting, which is expected to provide crucial insights into the future direction of interest rates and monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve's July meeting begins Tuesday and ends Wednesday, with a monetary policy decision and press conference by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
Markets broadly expect the central bank to leave interest rates steady this week, but many investors are hopeful that policymakers will provide new signals about the outlook for rates.
This Tuesday is expected to see the release of key economic data. Later this week, ADP's private payrolls report is due, as well as the July jobs report, which includes nonfarm payrolls and unemployment statistics.
