Result captured

Policy decision: raised the target range to 3.75%-4%.

Previous: Previous related release (2026-07-28): FOMC held the federal funds target range at 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent on 29 July 2026 — a fifth consecutive hold. The vote was 9-3: Beth M. Hammack, Neel Kashkari and Lorie K. Logan dissented, each preferring a quarter-point increase. Prior interpretation: The dissents point the same way — three voters wanted to tighten — so the hold is the dovish end of the committee's current range, not its centre.

Briefing

The Fed's shift to tightening after five consecutive holds—and a unanimous vote ending dissent—signals confidence that U.S. inflation can be controlled without sacrificing growth, reshaping dollar strength and the cost of capital for European exporters and strategic industrial investment.
