The Federal Reserve on Wednesday made no change to monetary policy, a month raising interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade.
In keeping the benchmark interest rate near 0.25 percent, the Federal Open Market Committee acknowledged that stock market turmoil and economic weakness overseas, particularly China, is a threat to the U.S. recovery.
They also said US “economic growth slowed” since its last meeting in December, and that inflation remains stubbornly low.
