On November 3, the US Federal Reserve Federal Open Market Committee published its statement. In general, the central bank announced that it would decrease monthly asset purchases by $15 billion. Meanwhile, the Federal Funds Rate remained unchanged.

Quoting the statement: " The Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and expects it will be appropriate to maintain this target range until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with the Committee's assessments of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2 percent and is on track to moderately exceed 2 percent for some time.

In light of the substantial further progress the economy has made toward the Committee's goals since last December, the Committee decided to begin reducing the monthly pace of its net asset purchases by $10 billion for Treasury securities and $5 billion for agency mortgage-backed securities."
