Goldman Sachs economists allegedly expect the Federal Reserve to skip increasing its key interest rates this month due to the amount of stress the American banking system is undergoing following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

However, the latest market downturn has prompted concerns about whether this decision would be appropriate.
