Of course, as a reminder, the global backdrop for today’s Fed decision is that big US trading partners, like Canada and the euro area, have cut interest rates even as inflation remains an issue.
So, What Did The Fed Do?
The Fed held rates unchanged as expected…
*FED HOLDS BENCHMARK RATE IN 5.25-5.5% TARGET RANGE
