US equities closed mixed Wednesday after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady at the end o

Major stock indexes pared losses Wednesday afternoon after the Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged and Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted resilience in the economy. Meanwhile, earnings reports from four members of the Magnificent Seven are due after the market close. Earlier Wednesday, a Senate panel moved to put the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair to a vote before the full chamber.

Bond yields nearly rose to levels seen in March during the height of fears over the Iran War–but it shouldn’t frighten investors. Much of the gains in yields came ahead of that hour as the Treasury market sold off alongside rising oil prices. Multiple Fed presidents didn’t support the inclusion of an easing bias, or potential lower rates in the future, in the FOMC statement, telling traders the Fed is likely closer to hikes than cuts.

Inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target and Powell says there are too many factors set to hit inflation in the coming months to consider cutting interest rates right now. After three Fed presidents said they disagreed with language in the April FOMC statement that indicated an easing bias for the Fed, markets are moving to price in lower odds of an interest-rate cut in 2026. Markets are now pricing in just a 1.3% chance of a cut this year, down from an 18% chance just a day ago, per the CME FedWatch Tool. While Powell said there wasn't discussion of near-term interest rate hikes during the most recent meeting, markets are starting to price a slim chance of a rate increase.

The U.S. debt market selloff picked up after the Fed left rates steady again. The Fed left rates steady but there was a higher level of dissent among participants. Fed governor Stephen Miran has typically dissented, but this time there were also multiple Fed presidents who didn’t support statement language including “an easing bias.”

Macro pressures and Fed outlook could delay Bitcoin recovery while Galaxy pivots toward AI data centers.

It’s no secret that the Trump administration has consistently pushed the Fed to cut interest rates. Fed Governor Miran, one of the Fed’s most vocal advocates for lower rates, said at a Washington forum this month that he has scaled back his outlook from four cuts this year to potentially three, acknowledging the inflation picture had grown more complicated even before the conflict with Iran began. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went a step further at a separate conference, saying cuts should come eventually but that waiting for clarity on the Iran situation is reasonable.

Chair Powell said in late March that policy is “in a good place to wait and see,” a view Governor Michael Barr and others have shared. In early April, St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said he believes the current rate will likely remain appropriate for some time, though he left the door open to both cuts and hikes depending on how conditions evolve. Gov. Christopher Waller has warned that an energy shock on top of existing tariff pressure could produce a more lasting rise in inflation, drawing a comparison to the pandemic-era sequence of supply shocks.

The majority of investors don't see the Fed cutting interest rates again until October 2027, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The outlook for an extended rate pause comes as oil prices surge once more and inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% for the fifth consecutive year.

Treasury yields nudged higher but remained largely rangebound ahead of a rate decision and a Senate Banking Committee vote on the confirmation of Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh. The Fed is largely expected to hold rates steady again this month, with the last of Chair Jerome Powell’s press conferences set for 2:30 p.m. Eastern time. Powell, whose term as chair ends next month, is likely to be replaced by Warsh, who will face a vote prior to the end of the Fed’s two-day meeting in Washington.

The most widely followed gauge of market fear and uncertainty was pretty much unchanged on Wednesday, suggesting Wall Street was feeling relatively calm ahead of looming Big Tech earnings and the Federal Reserve's policy decision.
