As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the target range for the overnight lending rate unchanged at 0% to 0.25% and retained its conditional commitment to keep rates low for “an extended period.” The wording of the FOMC’s economic assessment was little changed.

In other words, the Fed views the underlying trend in inflation as too low (for those of you who remember the inflation of the 1970s, this may seem extraordinary). Recall that the Fed’s definition of “price stability” does not mean 0% inflation – rather, as former Chairman Alan Greenspan put it, “price stability exists when inflation is not a consideration in household and business decisions.” [Read more]
