At yesterday's press conference, the head of the Fed, Yellen, said that the gradual tightening of the monetary policy would be justified. In the near future, the regulator intends to start implementing a program to reduce assets on its balance sheet. Nevertheless, the chairman of the Central Bank did not tell the specified terms of raising the key interest rate. The main factor is the level of inflation, which at the moment is below the target level. We expect economic reports from the USA.
