On Sept. 16, 2026 the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) unanimously voted to raise the target federal funds rate to a range of 3.75%–4.00% from 3.50%–3.75%, a move market participants had expected. The vote was unanimous and the change was announced after the committee’s meeting concluded.
The new Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) shows a median projection for the federal funds rate of 4.1% at the end of 2026, indicating the committee anticipates at least one additional rate increase beyond the current move. The SEP update was released together with the decision and provides the FOMC’s outlook on rates through the end of next year.
The decision and projections will be watched for implications on borrowing costs, financial markets and policy direction as officials balance inflation, employment and growth in their forward guidance. #FOMC #Fed #interestRates #monetarypolicy #FiatNews
