Good morning. The US Federal Reserve has kicked off its two-day meeting where they’ll decide whether to raise US interest rates for the first time in seven years. Now, as this meeting gets underway, the US Labor 1 Department released its call Consumer Price Index numbers, basically inflation numbers which showed an increase of 2%. Now, it’s a third month of the call inflation increased by that much. Most analysts 2 are expecting the US Fed will raise interest rates at the end of the 2-day meeting. Australia’s National Carrier Qantas has said it expects to report better than expected profits for the six months to December, boosted by lower oil prices and continued focused on its revival 3 plans.
