The dollar initially declined, but subsequently recovered its losses. The euro returned at trading levels below 1.2000, with the pound continuing with its exceptionally strong impairment. Early this morning, a pound is exchanged for 1.3595 dollars.
The renewal of the Fed's inflation target is a major step after nearly six years in which consumer price growth in the world's largest economy is below the target of 2%.
The Fed also commented on the weak recent data on the labor market, saying labor market activity was slowing down, but it has performed well over the past few months.
In any case, at the next meeting on June 12-13, the Fed is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points after not doing so yesterday. Or, the market has bet almost 100%, that we will see a rise next month, unless something really dramatic happens.
