Perhaps not surprisingly, the Federal Reserve left the fed funds rate unchanged in their June meeting, almost certainly on the back of a weak May jobs report (+11,000 m/m). It is yet another example of the Fed’s hypersensitivity to single data points or events, much like their choice to delay a hike in the beginning of the year because of global market volatility (which ended up short-lived).
This week the Federal Reserve will meet again to discuss whether the fed fund rate will change or not.
