**Latest Interest Rate Announcement from the FED**

The Federal Reserve of the United States (FED) has just announced its latest decision on interest rates during the recent policy meeting. Accordingly, the FED has decided to **maintain the current interest rate** at a level of 5.25% - 5.50%, the highest in over 22 years. This decision reflects the FED's efforts to balance controlling inflation and maintaining economic growth.

The FED noted that inflation in the U.S. has shown signs of decreasing but is still above the target of 2%. Therefore, keeping interest rates high aims to continue tightening financial conditions and limit price pressures. However, the FED also opens the possibility of cutting interest rates in 2024 if inflation continues to decrease and the economy shows signs of slowing down.

This decision by the FED has a significant impact on global financial markets, including exchange rates, gold prices, and investment flows. Investors need to closely monitor the FED's next moves to develop appropriate strategies.
