Last closure
On Wednesday, July 30, trades in USA have come to the end with growth, in response to the latest policy statement from the US Federal Reserve, which suggested that the central bank is on track to increase rates this year. The central bank said it was seeing “solid” job gains and maintained its view that economic activity was expanding “moderately”, with the risks to the outlook “nearly balanced”. Its statement added that the Fed would raise rates when it has “seen some further improvement in the labour market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2 per cent objective”. Analysts said the addition of the word “some” was a strong indication that the Fed was moving closer to “lift-off”. Higher prices are beginning to take their toll on U.S. home buyers.
