FOMC decision that we have been focusing on for past days in this series covering various aspects, probabilities, possibilities surrounding a rate hike from FED, is finally here and just few hours away.
Not forgettable, but to remind you once more.......
FOMC decision will be announced at 19:00 GMT, followed by press conference of FED Chair Janet Yellen at 19:30 GMT. Key projection materials will be published.
