Good morning. Eyes on the Fed, energy pivot in Europe and China is not counting Covid cases anymore. Here’s what people are talking about. 
The Federal Reserve is poised to moderate its aggressive tightening on Wednesday, while signaling that interest rates will ultimately go higher than previously forecast. Consumer-price data released Tuesday suggest the worst of US inflation may have passed, making it easier for the officials to downshift to a smaller rate increase. The tricky part for Chair Jerome Powell will be convincing investors that this isn’t a dovish pivot, and that officials won’t prematurely end their assault against inflation. The decision will be announced at 2 p.m. in Washington. Powell will hold a press conference 30 minutes later.
