A bit of an ANZ recap on the Federal Open Market Committee
In brief:
- Fed made it clear it would continue to support the economy for the foreseeable future
- Fed repeated a vow to use all tools at its disposal to support the economy
- left interest rates unchanged
- said it will extend emergency measures
On gold ahead:
