European stocks are expected to open lower Wednesday as investors await the latest monetary policy decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Investors will also be paying close attention to Fed policymakers' Summary of Economic Projections and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference, seeking clues about what might happen in the months ahead.
