QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?”
– Thomas J. Watson
Yesterday, the Federal Reserve left its key benchmark rate unchanged despite renewed calls by President Donald Trump for lower interest rates.
Policymakers unanimously agreed to leave rates alone, sticking with the wait-and-see approach outlined earlier this year.
“We don’t see a strong case for moving in either direction,” Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said at a press conference. “The committee is comfortable with our current policy stance.”
