The Federal Open Market Committee voted to leave the federal funds target range unchanged at its September 2026 meeting, according to the official statement released after the session.
The statement said inflation has eased over the past year but remains above the Committee’s 2% longer-run goal, and that the labor market remains solid. Officials reiterated that future moves will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks.
Markets had widely priced in a hold ahead of the announcement. Equity indexes moved modestly in after-hours trading; longer-dated Treasury yields edged lower as traders adjusted expectations for the rest of the year.
The next scheduled FOMC meeting is set for late October. Separate remarks from individual governors after the statement are not part of the Committee consensus and are noted as such when reported.
