India, April 29 -- For the third consecutive meeting, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced its widely expected decision to leave rates unchanged, although the vote was unusually divided.

The Fed said it decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50 to 3.75 percent, citing its dual goals of maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run.
