    3 central banks stand pat on rates; China increases
    Three central banks left interest rates unchanged Thursday, while the People's Bank of China made a 10-basis-point increase in the aftermath of a rate hike from the U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday. The Bank of England's monetary policy committee held the bank's key rate at 0.25%, while Norway's Norges Bank's executive board kept its rate at 0.5%. Bank of Japan also stood firm on rates.
