As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates the same but remained upbeat on U.S. economic progress. The Fed is also satisfied with the strengthening of the labor market, giving signals of a December rate hike.This is especially true given that the first reading of the U.S. GDP for the third quarter rose 3.0% year over year in the July-September period, after increasing at a 3.1% clip in the second. The reading beat 2.5% growth forecast. The stellar growth was attained despite two consecutive hurricanes in the third quarter.Overall, the prevalent bet over the December Fed rate hike was intact. There is about a 92% chance that the Fed will act in December.
