Federal Reserve's Decision
The Federal Reserve (Fed) announced on October 28 that it is maintaining the federal funds rate at a range of 3.75% to 4.00%. This decision was made during the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which took place over two days.
The Fed had raised interest rates by 0.25 percentage points last month, and it is now opting for a cautious approach by holding rates steady. There has been speculation about the possibility of another rate hike during the last FOMC meeting of the year, scheduled for December 8-9.
As a result of this rate decision, the interest rate differential between the U.S. and South Korea remains at 1.00 percentage points, with South Korea's rate at 3.00%. This ongoing comparison highlights the differing monetary policy approaches between the two countries.
