The statement also notably removed language promising to “act as appropriate to sustain the expa nsion,” a phrase commonly used by Fed officials after it pivoted from the steady rate hikes of 2018 to the rate cuts in July and September.
The Fed now says it will “continu e to monitor implications of incoming information for the economic outlook” in considering future moves .

Downside risks
The statement was otherwise mostly unchanged from September. The Fed continued to describe the labor market as “strong,” as the September jobs report saw the une mployment rate fall to 3.5%.
On inflation, the Bureau of Economic Analysis repo rted core personal consumption expenditures (the Fed’s preferred measure) of 1.8% in August. But the Fed statement not ed th at inflation c ont inues t o r un “below 2%.”
Hours before today announcement, the BEA also released its first print on third-quarter GDP, showing an annualized 1.9% pace of growth, above expectations of 1.6%. Consumption appeared to moderate, but heavy government spending helped boost U.S. growth.

But Fed policymakers have said in recent months that the rate cuts are mostly in reaction to what Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has described as “downside risks, ” suc h a s trade con cer ns and geo pol itical tension. Those risks, policymakers sa y, may not be seen in the data yet

Fed’s last meeting in September, dev elopments on those d ownside risks have been mixed.
The trade war between the U.S. and China could be on its first steps to resolution as both sides work through a “phase one” tra de de al, although the specif ic details of the agreement are still being hashed out.
Geopolitical tensions, meanwhile, do not appear to be letting up. Brexit was postponed yet again, protests continue in Hong Kong, and China’s economy appears to be slowing. Two weeks ago, the International Monetary Fund lowered its expectations for global growth in 2019 to the slowest pace since the financial crisi s, at 3%.
Not QE
In his press conference, Powell will be closely watched for any commentary on the Fed’s mid-October announcement that it would resume growth of its balance sheet by buying about $60 billion of Treasury bills each month. The purchases are designed to increase the amoun t of bank reserves in the financial system, since a scarcity of available bank reserves for overnight lending led to a dramatic spike in interest rates in September.
The F ed says the purchase s will continue at least into the second quarter of 202 0.
