Fed expected to hold rates at 40-year low on Tuesday
Private economists say the Federal Reserve will keep its target for the overnight rate at 1.75 percent, maintaining support for a gradual economic recovery. While some expect a cut later, officials view growth as modest and threats to inflation as manageable, aiming to preserve ammunition for future action. The pattern follows a weak spring growth of 1.1 percent, with August retail sales boosting forecasts for the July-September quarter.
