...rate that commercial banks charge one another for overnight loans at 5.5 percent. A rate hike would have meant higher borrowing costs for millions of credit card-wielding Americans, but would also have slowed the economy and dampened inflation.

Analysts had expected at least a slight increase because the economy expanded at a rapid 5.6 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the best in 10 years.
