US Fed keeps its federal funds rate unchanged
United States Federal Reserve kept its federal funds rate unchanged amid recent weak economic data and tepid inflation.
The Fed said in a statement released yesterday after the two day policy meeting. The Fed raised its target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 0.25-0.5 percent in December last year, the first rate hike in nearly a decade.
However, a slowdown in global economy since the start of this year and other global financial risks have made Fed policymakers cautious to hold off on any further rate hikes.
