Dow Jones13:04

0504 GMT - Even though investors have absolutely no doubt about the Federal Reserve's decision to keep the Fed funds target rate range at 3.50%-3.75%, this monetary policy meeting is one of the most important of the year, Natixis IM's Mabrouk Chetouane says in a note. "Since his appointment and for his first meeting as head of the FOMC, Kevin Warsh faces a challenging task," the global head of market strategy says. In more than just assessing the economic situation, the new Fed governor could initiate changes, particularly in the central bank's communication strategy, he says. "His first steps in office and his initial statements will be closely watched, as transitional periods within the world's most powerful monetary institution are typically a source of stress for capital markets."
