The central bank made no cuts and kept the lower bound above 2.75%.
The Federal Reserve raised its policy rate once in 2026 and left it unchanged for the rest of the year. The increase brought the target rate to 4.0 percent by December. No subsequent cuts were announced through the final meeting.
The Hike was implemented during the mid-year meeting, after which the Fed held policy steady in July, August and September. The October meeting recorded no change, confirming the pause after the earlier increase. The decision pattern for the July-October period was classified as "Other" rather than a series of pauses.
