The Federal Reserve held its key interest rate steady at 3.50% - 3.75% at its July 2026 meeting.
Here are the key takeaways:
· A Divided Decision: The vote was 9-3 to hold. Three regional Fed presidents (Hammack, Kashkari, Logan) dissented, wanting a 0.25% hike.
· Economic Context: Officials noted solid economic expansion but acknowledged inflation remains above the 2% target, partly due to energy price shocks.
· Future Outlook: Chair Warsh reiterated the Fed's commitment to price stability. Markets are now pricing in a roughly 76% probability of a rate hike at the September meeting.#FOMCWatching $BTC
