FOMC meeting turned out to be a non-event – Danske Bank

The FOMC meeting turned out to be a non-event as the Fed maintained the target range at 1.75-2.00% and did not feel it was necessary to send any new signals in the statement (there were no updated projections or a press conference at this meeting), explains the research team at Danske Bank.
