What happened
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, led by Kevin Warsh, resulted in the key interest rate remaining unchanged in the 3.5% to 3.75% range. This was the first policy review since Warsh took over from Jerome Powell as chair of the US Federal Reserve. The FOMC statement indicated that economic activity was expanding, but inflation remained elevated relative to the 2 percent goal.

Why it matters
The committee's decision to hold the rate was unanimously supported by policymakers. However, the Summary of Economic Projections showed that 18 of the 19 officials expected at least one rate increase before the end of the year. This shift signals heightened concerns about persistent inflation.
