The Fed is struggling with one key sentence in its post-meeting statement

• The Federal Reserve is considering a key milestone in its public communication about the path of interest rates.
• Wall Street economists think a language change is coming that will signal monetary policy is no longer loose, meaning interest rates are no longer seen as particularly low.
• This week's meeting may be too soon; it's more likely such a shift will come in September, when the Fed is next expected to raise interest rates.
