The Fed kept its benchmark rate at 3.75%-4% on October 28, after raising it last month for the first time since July 2023, as markets had expected. While acknowledging that inflation is "still accelerating," the Fed raised its assessment of the economy and said further hikes may be needed depending on upcoming inflation data. Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissented, both wanting a 25-basis-point (0.25%) hike. Chair Kevin Warsh said the economy is getting harder to assess, inflation has been above target for nearly 6 years, and the Fed may reduce the number of rate-setting meetings starting in 2027. Markets were mixed: the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.13%, the S&P 500 and DJIA edged higher, and spot gold dropped over $20 to $4,035 an ounce.

- Fed chairman talks tough on inflation — plus, what's behind Micron's big rally
The Fed held its target range at 3.75% to 4% at its October meeting, saying inflation remains elevated, with two dissenters who wanted a rate hike. Chair Kevin Warsh reiterated the 2% inflation target, stressing there is no soft target, and said the Fed will reduce its rate-setting meetings in coming years. Market odds of a December rate hike stayed above 80%. Memory stocks rallied after SK Hynix reported soaring quarterly revenue and profit: its U.S.-traded shares rose over 12.5%, and Micron gained nearly 6% for a fourth straight session, though still about 19% below its June record close of $1,213 and up 240% year to date. Apple also released its first touchscreen laptop, with MacBook Pro models starting at $2,899.
- Fed holds rates steady despite concerns over inflation
The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark overnight funds rate in the 3.75%-4% range, as widely expected, after raising it by a quarter percentage point in September, and said inflation remains elevated. Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissented, both wanting a quarter percentage-point hike, while Logan and Kashkari, who had dissented in July, joined the majority. The administration has restarted its effort to remove Cook after the Supreme Court halted earlier attempts, with a hearing scheduled for early November. Activity was described as expanding at a strong pace, and futures pricing pointed to a strong possibility of another hike in December, while Chairman Kevin Warsh has avoided providing forward guidance. Inflation by the Fed's preferred gauge is expected to be above 3% for September excluding food and energy, while the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow tracker points to 3.4% annualized growth in the third quarter.
- Fed Rate Decision: What Markets and Bitcoin Traders Can Expect
The Fed announces its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET today, with Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference to follow, and futures and prediction markets put the odds of a hold above 90%. The target range is 3.75%–4.00% after September's 12-0 hike, and inflation was 3.7% in the 12 months through September, with oil near $100 a barrel. Hiring is slowing, with employers adding just 29,000 jobs in September against forecasts of about 90,000. Higher inflation pushes up Treasury yields, with the 10-year near 5% after peaking at 5.31% on Oct. 5, which pulls money from riskier assets, and bitcoin trades around $80,700. Markets give 75% to 80% odds of another quarter-point hike at the Dec. 8-9 meeting, and analysts call the likely outcome a 'hawkish hold'.
- Interest Rates Should Remain Unchanged Today, but at Least 3 Federal Reserve Rate Hikes Are Expected by September 2027
The FOMC, led by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, will announce its decision at 2 p.m. ET on Oct. 28, with odds of keeping the federal funds rate at 3.75%-4.00% near 91%, up from 29% a month earlier. Per the CME FedWatch Tool, for the Sept. 15, 2027 meeting, the odds are nearly 56% that rates rise by at least 75 basis points. The article says Warsh and former Fed Chair Jerome Powell have identified tariffs under President Trump as lifting consumer prices, while the FOMC also points to the Iran war's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz and the AI infrastructure build-out. Import prices for computer and electronic products rose 7.4% in the first six months of 2026 to 77.1 points, the highest since January 2016, while September CPI rose 3.7% year over year. Because part of the AI build-out is debt-financed, the article warns that higher borrowing costs or slower data center construction could hit the stock market hard.
- Will the Fed raise interest rates several more times?
The Fed is expected to keep rates unchanged at its October 27-28 meeting, after raising them by 0.25 percentage points in September to a 3.75-4% range, and investors are watching for signals from Chair Kevin Warsh on next steps. Inflation remains high: September CPI rose 3.7% year on year, while core CPI rose 2.6%, 0.3 percentage points above August. Meanwhile, the housing market remains sluggish as mortgage rates exceed 7%, and the labor market is unusual, with few layoffs but also limited hiring. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, markets put about a 10% chance on a rate hike in October but over 80% for December. Krishna Guha of Evercore ISI said Warsh's message fits a scenario of a hike roughly once a quarter, though this is not a fixed path.
- 59 Remarks, Markets Spinning Like a Weathervane: Divisions Within the Fed Exposed
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh wants to limit signals on interest rates, yet according to the WSJ, 16 Fed officials made 59 speeches, interviews or public comments from the September meeting until the pre-October quiet period, versus about 54 in the same period last year. The probability of a Fed rate hike at the Oct. 27-28 meeting fell from about 70% a month earlier to 15% by Oct. 16, after two other senior Fed leaders signaled no need to act hastily. Governor Waller argued that statements reducing expectations of a hike are themselves a form of forward guidance, while Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said explaining how officials assess the economy does not amount to a commitment to a decision. Disagreement also appears over whether rates are too low and need to rise, with some officials viewing hikes as a precaution against prolonged inflation.
