The Federal Reserve raised rates twice by 25 basis points each and kept the lower bound above 2.75%.
The Federal Reserve concluded 2026 with its target federal funds rate set at 4.25 percent. Over the year the board implemented two quarter-point increases and did not lower rates at any meeting. The stance remained tight as inflation pressures persisted.
The final adjustment came in the December meeting, when policymakers raised the rate by 25 basis points. That move lifted the upper end of the target range to 4.50 percent. The decision followed a series of data releases that kept inflation above the Fed's 2 percent goal.
