Fed holds rates steady, sees inflation elevated - MarketWatch

advertisement

The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady Wednesday, saying its "predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected."
In its statement released at the conclusion of its two-day meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee acknowledged recent data shows both higher inflation and a weaker economy. See the full text of the statement.
The committee dropped a phrase from previous statements about the "additional firming that may be needed," a change interpreted by some as signaling that the Fed is moving closer to cutting interest rates later this year, as the market expects.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

This appears to be a really good sign for the stock market. Now if we can just stop all of this doom and gloom talk of the sub-prime market which only affects less than 5% of americans.
