CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed on Wednesday ahead of two very important U.S. events. First, the CPI data will be released at 7:30 Wednesday morning which could influence the Federal Reserve's future decisions for the timing of the 1st interest rate cut. The second event is the release of the decision of the Federal Reserve, along with a new "dot-plot" that will provide a new road map for the potential timing of future interest rate cuts. Along with that release will come a press conference by Chairman Powell, the tone of which will be watched closely for clues about future interest rate policy. Traders are not expecting any interest rate changes Wednesday, and instead are going to be focused on the dot-plot and the Chairman's comments.
