Story summary

On October 28, 2026, the Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged at a range of 3.75%-4.00%, despite persistently high inflation driven by the war in Iran and rising energy prices. In a 10-2 vote, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh indicated that additional rate hikes may still be necessary but will require more data to confirm. The move comes days before the midterm elections, where economic issues like cost of living have been major concerns for voters. President Donald Trump had criticized previous rate increases and again urged lower interest rates earlier this month.
