5. Federal Reserve Announces 25 Basis Point Rate Hike, Latest Statement Removes Language Suggesting Further Rate Increases

According to ChainCatcher, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate range by 25 basis points to 5-5.25%. Additionally, the Fed's statement removed language suggesting further rate increases.

The Fed's statement indicated that when determining whether additional policy tightening may be appropriate to bring inflation back to 2% over time, the committee will consider the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lagged effects of monetary policy on economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments.

Compared to the March statement, this statement's wording has softened, as the Fed previously indicated that the committee expected further policy tightening may be needed to achieve a sufficiently restrictive monetary policy stance to bring inflation back to 2% by 2018. (The Block)

Currently, major exchanges are temporarily meeting this demand, but there may be a delay in launching in the future.
