The U.S. Federal Reserve decided today, Wednesday, to keep interest rates unchanged, thus aligning with market expectations.

The Federal Committee kept the main interest rate within a range of

4.25 percent to 4.5 percent, which has been the stable level since last December.

The committee also stated in its announcement that despite fluctuations in foreign trade and their impact on data, recent indicators

suggest strong growth in economic activity.

The unemployment rate has also stabilized at a low level

in recent months.

Working conditions remained stable, although inflation is still somewhat high.

The committee stated that it is striving to achieve maximum employment.

Data uncertainty regarding economic forecasts has increased.

Therefore, the committee voted unanimously to keep the interest rates

unchanged.

It mentioned that it is assessing the appropriate stance for monetary policy.

It will continue to monitor the effects of incoming information on economic forecasts.

Additionally, it stated that it is ready to adjust its stance as necessary if risks that impede its goals emerge.
