The Federal Reserve has held its target federal funds rate at 3.50-3.75% through five consecutive 2026 meetings, including the July 29 decision that drew three dissents favoring a 25 basis point hike amid inflation remaining above the 2% goal. Supply shocks from Middle East conflict have kept headline inflation elevated near 3.5% in recent readings, while core measures eased modestly and the labor market showed signs of cooling with July job losses. Markets currently price modest odds of a September 16 move higher, reflecting the hawkish minority view and minutes highlighting risks of delayed tightening. The next catalysts include incoming CPI, PCE, and employment data ahead of the FOMC, which could shift trader-implied probabilities if inflation reaccelerates or the labor market weakens further.
