The United States Federal Reserve (Fed) announced this Wednesday that it is keeping interest rates unchanged, in the range of 5.25% to 5.5%, leaving them at their highest level in 23 years.

The North American central bank maintains reference rates with an eye on inflation that in the US is taking time to reduce towards the optimal level of around 2% annually.

This Wednesday it was learned that private employment payrolls in the United States increased more than expected in April, while the previous month's data was revised upwards. According to the ADP employment report, private payrolls increased by 192,000, following an upwardly revised increase of 208,000 in March. This implies a certain “overheating” of economic activity, which prevents the inflationary path from adjusting to the margins foreseen by the Fed.

It must be remembered that consumer inflation in the United States accelerated in March to an annual rate of 3.5%, according to official data, which narrowed the possibilities of an eventual interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, inflation rose at an annual rate of 3.8%, almost double the official target.
