Rates won't be rising... At least for now!
The FED, otherwise known as the Federal Reserve, the United States' central banking system, decided yesterday, in the long awaited decision to hold off on raising interest rates. Well at least for right now.
With the FED being responsible to look at maximum employment, price stability and moderating long term interest rates to maintain the stability of our financial system, the decision was based on a number of indicators and included:
For months we have been talking about it and were wondering what the crystal ball would show when the September deadline for decision rolled around. With an unstable global economy being a factor, we won't see rates rise immediately, however it is likely we will see an increase before year end, according to reports.
“Recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat,” the Fed’s committee said in a statement.Although they didn’t raise rates now, the majority of Fed committee members believe there will be a rate hike in 2015, according to its economic projections.
With the FED committee meeting again in October and December, we may see changes in the future.
