The Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged in June 2026, the fourth consecutive meeting without a change. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh led his first policy meeting as officials raised inflation forecasts sharply.
Updated projections showed divided views on the path ahead, with several officials open to rate hikes later this year to bring inflation back toward the 2% goal.
Markets are watching Warsh's communication strategy and task forces reviewing Fed policy tools, including how the central bank measures the economy and manages its large balance sheet.
