This week, another meeting of the FOMC took place — the key body of the Federal Reserve of the USA, which determines the country's monetary policy. Investors, economists, and financial analysts are closely monitoring the committee's decisions, as every word and action can impact global markets.

On the agenda are the level of the discount rate, the assessment of inflationary pressure, and the overall state of the US economy. Recent data shows that inflation is decreasing more slowly than expected, and therefore, the chances for a rapid reduction in rates remain minimal.
