For immediate release



The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to keep its target for the federal funds rate at 5-1/4 percent.


Economic growth appears to have been moderate during the first half of this year, despite the ongoing adjustment in the housing sector. The economy seems likely to continue to expand at a moderate pace over coming quarters.



Readings on core inflation have improved modestly in recent months. However, a sustained moderation in inflation pressures has yet to be convincingly demonstrated. Moreover, the high level of resource utilization has the potential to sustain those pressures.


In these circumstances, the Committee's predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected. Future policy adjustments will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.

This should not be all time high material . tomorrow we get PCE Core Deflator - this should set the tone for the next move

So many were betting on a big move up - maybe we end in negative territory??
just a wild guess - happy to be flat now ;-)

But darn Nasdaq is strong as people have pointed out here

I went long minutes after and cashed out 3-4 points on NQ, I am also tempted to sell for another scalp, but I will wait until the June 3rd for anything bigger. I guess the market will just wiggle around here...

This really bugs me know that they said this despite the horrendous sell off in the utilities the whole month...

Micron reports after the close. Operating results should be awful, however, it depends upon so called future visibility. Unless, MU sandbagged their numbers last quarter and even refused to give any future guidance, there still should be no visibility until early next year.
