The Fed's wait-and-see approach puts it in the crosshairs of President Trump, who's banking on a strong economy next year.

Job creation last month surged far past analyst expectations.

Almost all of the Fed’s 12 districts reported modest growth over the past few months.

The U.S. economy is in good shape, Powell says.

Sluggish economic growth is a trend pervasive across New England.

Most Fed officials agreed the current level of rates will remain appropriate.

Interest rates are too high compared to other developed countries, president believes.

Trump called the meeting "very good & cordial."

Consumers are driving the U.S. economy, Fed chair says.

In the U.S., the total labor force is expanding at a rate of roughly 0.5 percent, compared to about 2.5 percent in the 1960s.

Powell reiterated what he said during the Fed's two-day meeting in October: The current level on its benchmark interest rate will likely remain "appropriate."

Fed chairman will share his perspective two weeks after the bank cut interest rates for a third time this year.

"We are competing against these other countries, nonetheless, and the Federal Reserve doesn't let us play the game," Trump said.

The central bank said Wednesday it would cut interest rates for the third time this year.

Economists widely expected the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

Although the U.S. central bank probably won’t fully close the door to further action, policymakers will likely put a “speed bump” in their official statement.

"The Fed doesn't have a clue," President Trump tweeted Tuesday.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has cited uncertainty from the U.S.-China trade war, muted inflation and a slowdown in global growth to justify previous cuts.
