With the clock ticking down to the Fed's September meeting and U.S. bond rates retreating from recent highs, many expect the central bank to stay on hold. In addition, the Fed will provide new forecasts for the economic outlook, including inflation and unemployment, and forward guidance on the outlook for interest rates.
