[13:47] {Threei} - The FOMC kept rates on hold again at the January meeting and only made minor revisions in the policy statement. The committee noted the slow recovery in the economy continuing and acknowledged that commodity prices have risen, but indicated core inflation is still not a concern. The vote was unanimous for the first time in a year as the perennial dissenter Hoenig rotated out of the voting membership, and the hawk expected to take his place, Fisher, cast his first vote with the majority.
