USD falls after FOMC meeting


USD fell on Thursday after the FED’s  meeting when it became clear that the central bank will leave interest rates unchanged amid global challenges.
The US currency hit a three week low against the euro and two-week against the Swiss franc with a perspective of further depreciation.Recent economic forecasts indicate that 13 of the 17 Fed politicians expect at least one increase of interest rate by the end of 2015.

“Recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement Thursday in Washington.

Immediately after the decision of the Central Bank, the euro rose to three-week highs of 1.1420 as last was trading with profit of 0.9 % for 1.1408 dollars. Against the yen, the greenback lost 0.3% to 119.73.
The US dollar, meanwhile, fell to two-week lows against the Swiss franc and was traded for 0.9618.
