Fed under Chair Kevin Warsh keeps rates at 3.5%-3.75% and drops forward guidance at first FOMC meeting
AI Market Summary
The Fed held rates at 3.5%–3.75% but shifted to a less transparent, less dovish communication stance by ending forward guidance, shortening statements, and withholding individual forecasts. The dot plot shows many officials anticipating hikes before 2026, while the 2026 year-end PCE inflation forecast jumped to 3.6%. Higher policy uncertainty and a potential hawkish tilt can tighten financial conditions and support the USD.

The Federal Reserve held its benchmark federal funds rate steady at 3.5% to 3.75% at the first FOMC meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, while overhauling how it communicates about policy. The central bank moved to end forward guidance, issued a noticeably shorter post-meeting statement and declined to publish individual economic projections. The dot plot showed nine of 18 voting members expect a rate hike before the end of 2026, and the year-end PCE inflation forecast was raised from 2.7% to 3.6%.
