The Federal Reserve voted unanimously to keep the fed funds interest rate unchanged, but central bankers were more upbeat about the economy in a sign that a widely expected rate hike could still come in September. “The labor market continued to improve, with solid job gains and declining unemployment,” the Fed said in a statement after their two day meeting. Their next meeting will be Sept 16-17. |
