Fed holds rates steady, indicates it is not ready to start cutting

  • The Federal Reserve sent a tepid signal that it is done raising interest rates but made it clear that it is not ready to start cutting.
  • The Federal Open Market Committee removed language that had indicated a willingness to keep raising interest rates until inflation had been brought under control and was on its way toward the Fed’s 2% inflation goal. 
  • However, it also said there are no plans yet to cut rates with inflation still running above the central bank’s target.
