The Federal Reserve keeps interest rates unchanged in the United States. The Fed foresees victory in the fight against inflation and hopes to lower US rates by three quarters of a point in 2024.
The US regulator decided to keep rates within the range of 5.25% to 5.5%, their highest level since 2001. The decision was announced in a statement and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will explain it in a speech that will be closely analyzed to see if it gives a clearer picture of the central bank's future decisions.
