Fed holds rates again for fifth time
The U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates at the range of 3.50% to 3.75% for the fifth consecutive time, with a voting split of 9 to 3 members. This move aims to maintain adequate levels of financial reserves. The Federal Reserve emphasized that economic growth remains strong despite high uncertainty, and inflation continues to rise above the 2% target, particularly in energy sectors due to supply shocks. The statement also noted that productive activities and capital investments are ongoing, with unemployment rates remaining stable. Following the decision to hold rates steady, the dollar experienced a decline.
