What happened
Three Federal Reserve officials indicated that the fight against inflation is ongoing, though one official noted that 2% inflation is achievable. John Williams and another policymaker suggested one more rate hike in 2026, but Williams did not see a need for further hikes in 2027. Reports also noted that crude oil prices are a critical factor influencing Federal Reserve pricing and market expectations.
