  • By Davide Barbuscia, Laura Matthews and Suzanne McGee NEW YORK (Reuters) -Investors are taking some comfort from the U.S. Federal Reserve's wait-and-see approach, after being rattled by tariff-related turmoil that poses a threat to markets and the economy.

The article from MSN Money discusses the Federal Reserve's recent decision to maintain current interest rates, providing a temporary relief to investors amidst ongoing trade tensions, particularly with China. The Fed's choice to pause rate hikes comes as a response to global economic uncertainties and the potential negative impacts of tariffs.

The article highlights that this pause has been interpreted by markets as a dovish signal, potentially easing some of the pressures from the trade war. However, it also notes that while this might offer short-term market stability, the long-term effects of tariffs and economic policy remain uncertain, with investors still wary of future economic indicators and policy shifts.
