Stocks were mixed Wednesday as Wall Street digested the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady as expected.

while also leaving the door open on future actions to bring down inflation.

"I think the market is correct in expecting the Fed to skip this meeting" and"maintain its vigilance," Marvin Loh, State Street senior global macro strategist, told Yahoo Finance Tuesday. The Fed, he added, will keep"optionality for another hike before they are done with the tightening process." But while many expect just one more rate hike, the bigger question may be how long will the Fed stay on hold at elevated levels. Will officials still see 100 basis points of rate cuts next year or will there be fewer rate cuts projected, implying rates will remain higher for longer?
