Every record this desk has filed under inflation, newest first, each with the number of sources it can still show you.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates a quarter point on September 16, to a range of 3.75 to 4 percent, by a unanimous vote. Its own projections put one more increase on the table before the year ends.
The Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds target range by a quarter point to 3-3/4 to 4 percent on September 16, 2026, voting 12 to 0. In July it had held the rate, with three members dissenting in favour of a hike. The statement's reason fits in three words, 'Inflation remains elevated', and it says the increase 'will support a timelier return' to the 2 percent goal. The Fed's projections raised its median inflation estimate for 2026 to 3.7 percent and its median year-end rate to 4.1 percent, up from 3.8 in June. Twelve of the 18 officials put the rate at 4.125 percent at the end of 2026, a quarter point above where it now sits. The next meeting is October 27 and 28. The Fed's documents say nothing about what this means for mortgages, credit cards or savings.
