The US Federal Reserve has kept its benchmark interest rate at the current range of 4.25 percent to 4.50 percent as it expects slower growth, higher inflation and slightly higher unemployment by the end of the year than what it previously forecast.

Plus, Nippon Steel has completed its takeover of US Steel after agreeing to let the US government have significant control in business decisions.
