Analysts at Goldman Sachs believe that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is unlikely to hint at tapering at its monetary policy meeting scheduled this week.

Key quotes

“It’s too early for the Federal Open Market Committee to begin the “taper clock” in their preview.”

“We do not expect Chair Powell to deliver the first hint at tapering in June.”
