WASHINGTON — Below is the statement the Federal Reserve released Wednesday after its latest policy meeting ended:
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals have moved toward better balance over the past year. The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals.

Federal Reserve Chair Powell to Monitor Jobless Claims and Nonfarm Payroll DataA look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets by Harry Robertson. The Federal Reserve chair on Wednesday continued to play a familiar tune. "Given the strength of the economy and progress on inflation so far, we have time to let the incoming data guide our decisions on policy," he said in a speech at Stanford University. Thursday brings new numbers on weekly jobless claims for Powell and his colleagues to chew on. Economists think the number will come in at 214,000, up slightly from the week before but in line with the average over the last six months - and hardly commensurate with a faltering labor market.Then Friday brings the big one: March's nonfarm payroll employment data could cause markets to lurch. Analysts polled by Reuters think 200,000 jobs were added in March, a relatively big drop from 275,000 in February. But recent U.S. data has tended to come in hotter than anticipated. Wednesday did deliver a sign of a potential crack in the U.S.
