U.S. stocks finished higher on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged at a range of 4.25% to 4.50% for a second straight meeting.
Meanwhile, the central bank's so-called dot plot, used by Fed officials to indicate their new projections on the economy and the future path of rates, showed policymakers still penciled in two rate reductions this year. They also saw lower economic growth and higher inflation for 2025, which could raise fears of stagflation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 383.32 points, or 0.9%, to end at 41,964.63, according to FactSet data.
The S&P 500 was up 60.63 points, or 1.1%, to end at 5,675.29.
The Nasdaq Composite popped 246.67 points, or 1.4%, ending at 17,750.79.
"The Fed meeting delivered a dovish surprise that stock-market bulls have welcomed. They kept rates on hold, and as expected, they revised down their growth outlook and revised up their inflation outlook. This does not sound like the basis for a dovish surprise..." said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB.
However, Fed Chair Jerome Powell was able to "spin the latest Fed projections and stunned the market" when he said inflation tied to tariffs would likely be "transitory," Brooks added.
Stocks bounced back this week from their sharp selloff over the past month, after uncertainty around President Donald Trump's tariff plans sent financial markets into a tailspin.
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday for a second straight meeting, as officials stuck to their previous forecast for two more cuts this year despite bracing for higher inflation and slower growth.
The central bank’s decision to hold interest rates at 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent extends a pause that has been in place since January following a series of cuts in late 2024 that lowered borrowing costs by a percentage point.
Israel ground forces pushed deeper into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, taking over parts of a major corridor that bisects the Palestinian enclave, in the most significant ground operation since the collapse of the cease-fire with Hamas.
The operation followed wide-scale Israeli aerial bombardment in Gaza that began early on Tuesday morning, ending the fragile truce between Israel and Hamas that had held since mid-January. More than 400 people were killed, according to the Gaza health ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
The Israeli military said soldiers had begun “targeted ground activities” along the road — known as the Netzarim Corridor — to create a “partial buffer zone” between northern and southern Gaza. Israeli forces had widened their control “to the center of the Netzarim Corridor,” the military said.
