"Lower oil prices and weak global economic growth would make the Fed more cautious about its tightening policy. The second interest rate increase in March has become unlikely," said Jia Liu, research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research in emailed comments.
Dow industrials, which had turned a 150-point drop to a modest gain earlier in the session, declined again after the announcement.

not unexpectedInterest rates at 0% is not going to rebuild the middle class. How can anyone save for retirement? Add to that, younger generations won't have pensions to the degree their elders did.

IOW, the gubmint can only act as a hindrance -- for economic growth and full employment, the gubmint has to get out of and stay out of the way.

Did the Fed announce that they were going to purchase another tranche of T-Bills?

"economic growth slowed" since its last meeting in December. How does it slow to less than zero? Deflation?

The “game of darts” starts and stops with government spending, policies, and regulations. The Fed reacts to the mismanagement by those we elect and goes from there.
