In a research note today, it said the US Federal Reserve had put on hold the movement of Federal Funds rate in 2019, a surprise change from its previous decision to undertake two more hikes this year. “It now sees economic gains of just 2.1 per cent this year, down from the 2.3 per cent estimated in December, and inflation only reaching 1.8 per cent, while the unemployment rate is now at 3.7 per cent.
