🚨 BREAKING: Fed Raises Rates by 25 Bps, Signals Another Hike in 2026
The Federal Reserve raised its federal funds target range by 25 bps to 3.75% to 4.00%, its first rate hike since July 2023 and ending the longest pause since 2008.
The decision was unanimous and in line with expectations. The Fed said higher rates will support a more timely return of inflation to its 2% target.
The FOMC dot plot shows one additional rate hike in 2026, while the median end 2026 rate forecast rose to 4.1% from 3.8% in June.
The move could support the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields while adding pressure to equities, with markets now focused on the Fed’s path beyond this meeting.
