US judge rejects demand for the Fed to disclose interest rate deliberations, calling it a publicity stunt.

According to the Securities Times APP, a federal judge in the United States on Monday rejected a hedge fund's legal request to force the Federal Reserve to disclose the interest rate meeting this week. The ruling confirmed that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which is responsible for setting US monetary policy, is not a government agency specified by the federal "Sunshine Act" and therefore does not need to open its meetings to the public.
