In this piece, we’re taking a closer look at how the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement issued on Wednesday stacks up against the previous one from their policymaking meeting back in November.
To give you a clearer picture, we’ve made some visual changes to the original text to highlight differences. Any text that’s been removed from the November statement is shown in red with a line striking through it. Meanwhile, new additions to the current statement are underlined and in red. What remains consistent across both statements appears in plain black text.
For additional insight, you can also tune into Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference, which is available for viewing.
