Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said its effectiveness was still an open question and a decision would be made after a better understanding of the economy's trajectory.The policy measure had been a point of discussion among market participants given the steepness in the US Treasury yield curve. Some market participants expect the US central bank to resort to the measure in a few months.The economic projections led some market participants to believe, materially, economic recovery would take a long time.While leaving the federal funds rate target ranged unchanged at 0.00-0.25%, Powell said the US central bank was not even thinking about raising interest rates and its focus was more on targeting the unemployment rate.
