The Fed has kept the interest rate unchanged for the fifth consecutive time.



According to news from HashChain, the Fed has decided to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%, in line with market expectations, marking the fifth consecutive meeting of inaction. This decision faced opposition from two board members appointed by Trump, Waller and Bowman, who believe that the current monetary policy is too tight. This is the first time in over 30 years that two board members voted against a decision. The FOMC voted 9 to 2 to maintain the benchmark overnight rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range. The Fed stated in its announcement that the unemployment rate remains low, and the job market conditions are still robust. Inflation remains slightly high. The statement also noted that economic growth has "slowed somewhat" in the first half of the year, which may strengthen the case for the Fed to lower rates in a future meeting if this trend continues. However, the statement also emphasized that "uncertainty regarding the economic outlook remains high," and stated that both inflation and employment targets face risks. This wording reflects the Fed's reluctance to hastily cut rates while the paths for inflation and employment remain unclear.
