The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee just released the outcome of its meeting this week.

As expected, the Fed cut its policy rate by 0.25% (with three governors dissenting - the most since 1988!).

It also announced that it will start purchasing shorter-term US Treasurys, to maintain “an ample supply of reserves” (is this pre-QE?)

To discuss, Fed-watcher Axel Merk is joining us again to deliver his expert reaction to the Fed’s latest guidance as well as take your questions live.

This live event with Axel will take place today at 4pmET/1pmPT and can be accessed via this link or by clicking on the image below:
