However, the meeting is being overshadowed by concerns about the Fed’s independence and speculation that President Donald Trump may announce a new Fed chair this week. Markets also contended with growing fears of another government shutdown after Democratic leaders threatened to block a $1.2 trillion funding package if it includes additional allocations for Homeland Security.
