💲 USD gains after FOMC decision

Fed kept interest rates unchanged in 5.25-5.50% range, as expected. Statement repeated that central bank needs to have greater confidence in inflation returning to target before cutting rates. New dot-plot showed just a single rate cut for this year, compared to three in March projections. However, split between FOMC members who saw 1 and 2 cuts was almost equal. Nevertheless, the announcement was fairly hawkish, and triggered a hawkish reaction in the markets - USD gained while gold and US indices moved lower. However, scale of the moves was rather moderate.

Markets now await post-meeting press conference of Fed Chair Powell, which is set to begin at 7:30 pm BST. Live coverage of the event will be available in News section at xStation.
