The investors are pricing a 60% chance that the Fed will raise rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, with the rest betting on no change. Some industry executives said the central bank should prioritize financial stability now.

Peter Orszag, chief executive of financial advisory at investment bank Lazard, said that the firm should go fast and hard on financial stability, go gradual and slow on price stability. Orszag said the Fed should be ready to hike again as the situation develops, but should be paused.
