The Federal Reserve took a step toward reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, as a statement from the Federal Open Market Committee said its previously announced drawdown program would begin "relatively soon" instead of "this year." In a unanimous decision, the Fed as expected held its targeted federal funds rate range between 1% and 1.25%.
