The monetary policy meeting in FED
Wednesday evening was held monetary policy meeting of the US central bank. They decided to keep its key rate at 0 to 0.25 percent, and there was no signals that it will be set up soon.
The message from the last meeting were broadly repeated, and it goes out that the interest rate will be kept below normal while yet, but that if inflation picks up faster than expected, it may be necessary to raise interest rates earlier than expected. And inflation is expected to fall further in the near future.
FED pointed however that economic activity has risen by a solid line and the labor market has improved further, with strong job growth and lower unemployment.
This means that there maybe earliest may come a rate hike in June, but at the moment is probably likelihood greater that it will not come until later, and certainly not before one begins to fear that inflation will overshoot 2 percent.
