Markets Expect Fed to Raise Rates Despite Bank Turmoil

A ‘shock pause’ by the central bank would spook an already jittery market, one analyst said, even as shares in regional lenders fall.

Federal Reserve officials will release a rate decision at 2 p.m. The key question is what will come next.

Even after the sale of First Republic, investors are worried about challenges that regional banks still face, imperiling the economy.

The Federal Reserve will release a policy decision on Wednesday on the heels of another bank collapse.

The resolution of First Republic Bank came after a frantic night of deal making by government officials and executives at the country’s biggest bank.
