The United States Federal Reserve announced today that it will keep its key interest rate unchanged at the current range of 0% to 0.25%. This decision comes as the US economy continues to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Reserve stated that it will maintain its current monetary policy stance to support the ongoing economic recovery and achieve its dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices. The central bank also mentioned that inflation has increased recently but expects this to be transitory. The Fed’s decision was largely in line with market expectations.
