  "account": "The US Federal Reserve has decided to keep its main interest rate unchanged at 3.75-4 percent, according to ANI. The decision was announced on Wednesday, October 28, in Washington DC, as the Committee voted 10-2 to maintain the rate. Officials considered two factors: prices are still rising rapidly, but consumer spending remains strong and the economy is robust. While nine members voted to keep the rate steady, two wanted to increase it by 25 basis points. This lack of consensus on how to address the rising prices highlights the complexity of the situation.",
