WASHINGTON [url=http://www.cheapairforce1womens.com/]Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Womens Mid[/url] , Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept its interest rate unchanged, but announced that it would start unwinding its 4.5-trillion-U.S.-dollar balance sheet from October, a further step to end the loose monetary policy.
"Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in July indicates that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising moderately so far this year," said the Fed in a statement after concluding its two-day monetary policy on Wednesday.
The central bank expected the Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maris to affect U.S. economy in the near term, but would not alter the course of the economy in the medium term.
Fed officials continue to expect the U.S. economy to expand at a moderate pace in the future.
According to the Fed's economic projections which were released on Wednesday, Fed officials expected the U.S. economy to grow 2.4 percent this year, higher than their forecast of 2.2 percent in June.
The projections showed that Fed officials continued to expect one more rate hike this year. The central bank raised interest rates twice this year, in March and June respectively. Previously, market expects the Fed might raise interest rate again in December.
Analysts widely believed that inflation developments will determine the timing of next rate hike.
"This year, the short fall of inflation from two percent...is more of a mystery," said Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen at press conference on Wednesday. In July, the core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) index, Fed's favor inflation indicator, rose only 1.4 percent year on year, below Fed's two percent target and also lower than the 1.9 percent in January.
According to Fed officials' projections, the core PCE index is expected to rise 1.5 percent this year and 1.9 percent next year, lower than the 1.7 percent and 2 percent forecasts in June.

Buying a home is a process fraught with emotional ups and downs. For most people, it'll will be the most expensive and involved purchase they ever make. On top of the indisputable importance of this purchase, is the indisputable lack of time one has to make a decision before purchasing a home. The average amount of time a potential homebuyer spends looking at a prospective home is 96 minutes! For a home that you may spend the next ten to twenty years living in, well, an hour and a half seems like an un-justly short amount of time to make such a drastic decision. This "hot" decision making environment, where the pressure is on, is one of the key aspects of buyer's emotional stress. But, the fact is, good homes sell fast, and buyers have to be ready to commit to a purchase in a short time. This being said, the "sure fire" way to make a good decision in a such a short period of time, is to learn to become a smart, analytical shopper. Not that emotions need to go entirely by the way side- but you must know when emotions are playing into your decision making process, what is at the core of those emotions and whether or not they are helpful to your process. Be your psychologist, and the sooner you'll get off the doctor's couch and into a new home!
One approach to help mitigate the emotional roller coaster of the buying process is to truly set out your specific priorities in terms of what you want and need in your new home. Ask yourself, " In order of importance, what are the most important elements for my.our new home?" Proximity to schools, the location of the neighborhood, commuting distance, property taxes, energy efficiency, shopping accessibility, and recreational facilities are just a few of the considerations a buyer should prioritize beforehand. If purchasing with a spouse or partner, you may discover your priorities are slightly or even greatly different. It is very important that you spend the time to make concessions and get on the same page as best you can.
Other aspects of your priority list may include the type of home you are looking for. These parameters could involve the size of the home or a particular style of home. If you're set on a particular style of home, this may effect the neighborhood parameter of your search, as not all houses of certain types are in every neighborhood. So, as you see, one way to help curb emotional reactions, is to make sure you know what you're looking for, and in doing so narrow your search. This way, what you'll be looking at will be within the list of parameters you set out in your priorities. You can then rank homes based on how well they fit into your priority system. Of course, there will be concession to be made here, as it may not be that a home fits your every single priority in exact order- but at least you've done some good analytical homework in advance and have a system for ranking your prospects.
Another tip for dealing with emotions, is to catch yourself when you are honing in on one particular feature of a home, as the "dream feature" of the home. A "dream home", should be so, because it satisfies those myriad components (priorities) that create "your dream of your home". You may want to check in and ask yourself if your being clouded by one enticing feature and have lost touch with your list of priorities.
Another dangerous aspect of buying a home based on your "gut" feeling, is
that your guttural instinct may be good for you, but not so great for re-sale.
It is, in almost all cases, very important that you consider the potential
re-sale value of your home as one of your top priorities. You don't want to be
stuck with a "dream home" that turns out to be everybody else's nightmare. The
investment aspect of purchasing a home, lies in it's re-sale value. Now, this
doesn't mean you have to buy
