Fed holds rates steady as markets seek clues from Warsh

 A divided Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday even as U.S. central bank chief Kevin Warsh pledged an unwavering commitment to bring inflation down, a message that left markets confused about ​just what he was prepared to do.
Warsh, in what has become characteristic fashion, declined during a press conference to offer any clues about what action would be needed to contain inflation ‌that has held above the Fed's 2% target for more than five years, pledging only: "This Fed will not waver."
