The Federal Open Market Committee concluded its two-day meeting and dropped the word “patient” from its policy guidance. But Fed Chairman Janet Yellen said just because the Fed is no longer patient, doesn’t mean tht it is inpatient. She also said that the Fed has not decided on the timing of its first rate increase. |
