The Fed kept interest rates, slowing down the pace of increase

Fed kept interest rates unchanged, which was widely expected by analysts. However, what became clear from Janet Yellen's statement was that the reserve would likely slow down the pace of interest rate hikes.
What the Fed said about its record-breaking balance was that it would begin to decline "relatively soon". And though it is not clear when it will happen, according to market observers, most probably in the autumn.
The Fed's balance sheet has a record value of $4.5 trillion, and its reduction in practice will mean withdrawing liquidity from the market. Or totally opposed to the redemption of assets, which triggered strong growth for US indices.
The Fed started with its gradual rise in interest rates in 2015, and after just two increases to the beginning of this year, we witnessed two more this year. This led to interest rates between 1 and 1.25%.
Despite the rise in interest rates, the dollar fell against the rest of the major currencies. The dollar index fell by 8% since the beginning of the year.
Market participants are divided in two on whether we will witness another increase in interest rates this year. Half of the respondents are of the opinion that we will see another interest rate rise in December, while the other half think we will see no more increases this year.
