U.S. Fed keeps key lending rate unchanged
The U.S. Federal Reserve left its key lending rate unchanged again on Wednesday and said it had made "some further progress" in its inflation fight.
Policymakers voted unanimously to maintain the US central bank's benchmark interest rate between 5.25 percent and 5.50 percent, the Fed announced in a statement, adding it was "attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate."
