The Federal Reserve held its target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50–3.75 percent following the July 28–29 FOMC meeting, with a 9–3 vote and three dissents favoring a 25 basis point hike. Elevated inflation—recent CPI at 3.4 percent and core PCE near 3.3–3.7 percent—remains the dominant driver of trader sentiment, fueled by supply shocks from Middle East tensions, tariffs, and AI-related spending. Softening July employment data, including job losses and a 4.1 percent unemployment rate, has tempered near-term hike expectations ahead of the September 15–16 meeting. Markets price low odds of a September move but see potential tightening later in 2026 if inflation fails to moderate, reflecting the FOMC’s dual mandate focus on price stability amid uncertainty.
