Interest rates hold, economy sighs in relief

The Federal Reserve, as expected, left interest rates unchanged in its announcement yesterday.

Yesterday's climb in the S&P 500 may only be a temporary boost, however.

Though the Fed signalled in its voting that increases were still on the table if the economy heats up, the rate remains unchanged at 5.25 percent. The Fed rate sets the base rate for many economic transactions, because it is the minimum cost of acquiring money on the open market.
