Top 5 Things to Watch: Interest Rates and Senate's Full Plate
Most market watchers expect the Fed to stand pat on interest rates,
following its July 28-29 meeting. The Senate is also taking up many pieces of
legislation ahead of its looming summer recess.
By DTN Staff
OMAHA (DTN) -- Here are the Top 5 things the DTN Newsroom is tracking for
the week of July 26. Watch for coverage of these and other topics throughout
the week on our subscription platforms as well as on http://www.DTNPF.com.
Note that all report release times are Central Daylight Time unless
otherwise noted.
1. Fed interest rate changes: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) holds
its two-day meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. The committee will issue its
policy statement and interest rate decision at 1 p.m., with Fed Chair Kevin
Warsh's press conference at 1:30 p.m. This meeting does not include the Summary
of Economic Projections.
2. Farm bill movement: With the House out for the summer, attention on farm
bill and other legislation turns to the Senate, which has a lot of territory to
cover before it is scheduled for Aug. 7 recess.
3. Office woes at USDA: We're continuing to document the benefits and
pitfalls of the staff cuts and relocation efforts within USDA offices,
particularly FSA and NRCS. Want to weigh in? See our DTN 360 Poll on the home
page of our public web site here: http://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/home
