Fed leaves interest rates unchanged, 4/27/2016 (Update in new post on page 1)

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee as expected voted today to leave the fed funds rate unchanged at .25%-.50%.
Words referring to "increased headwinds in Europe and China" were left out of their statement opening the door for a possible rate hike in June.
And Janet Yellen saw her shadow which means six more weeks of the same interest rates....

Of course Fed didn't raise it. US interest payment on national debt would increase significantly as a result.

I've thought all along there would only be 2 rate hikes this year. One in June, and another in December assuming nothing too drastic happened. Didn't really expect to hear anything different yesterday.

Russian what are your thoughts here, trade deficit is obviously dragging on GDP bc the value of the dollar is so much stronger than other world currencies. Seems like the fed has their hands tied with our rates until the rest of the world gets their shite together.

I didn't think the Fed minutes release today warranted a new thread....
Bank stocks will probably benefit the most. Another rate hike will steepen the yield curve which helps most banks with their net interest rate margin.

The Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates in June if economic data points to stronger second-quarter growth as well as firming inflation and employment, according to minutes from the U.S. central bank's April policy meeting released on Wednesday.
That view, expressed by most Fed policymakers at the last policy meeting, suggests the central bank is much closer to lifting rates again than Wall Street expects.
Bank stocks will probably benefit the most. Another rate hike will steepen the yield curve which helps most banks with their net interest rate margin.
