Fed maintains interest rate at 0%-0.25%
After a two-day interest rate meeting, the Fed kept the Federal Reserve Fund’s interest rate unchanged at 0%-0.25% and promised to maintain a low interest rate policy for a long time and continue to buy bonds indefinitely if necessary. In a statement by Fed Chairman Powell, he had no possibility of putting a negative interest rate. Regarding the economic outlook, Powell expects that the US second quarter GDP will be worse than the first quarter economic contraction of 4.8%, and it is not excluded that the March unemployment rate announced on Friday (May 8) may have double digits. It seems that negative interest rates are just wishful thinking in the market, and the Fed has no plan at all.
