At the end of their two-day meeting, the US Fed members left the interest rate unchanged as expected. According to the US regulator, the economic risks are down at the moment, but the FOMC will continue to keep an eye on inflation, the global economic situation and financial markets. US inflation is still under the 2% target level due to a fall in the price of energy. The situation with inflation has been changing slightly in the past few months. Members of the committee are convinced that economic activity will grow steadily and the growth in consumer prices will be low, but enough to reach 2%. The market’s first reaction was a short-term strengthening of the dollar and then it slightly weakened. The EURUSD rose quickly to 1.1060 after falling to 1.0960. The pair was trading at around 1.1070 on Thursday morning.
