Key takeaways

  • The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) by a unanimous vote to the new range of 3.75% to 4.00%, marking the first rate hike since the summer of 2023.

  • Chair Warsh emphasized strong consumer spending, business investment, productivity growth, and a near full-employment labor market, reinforcing the Fed's view that the economy can withstand higher interest rates while it focuses on restoring price stability.

  • Policymakers expect interest rates to remain restrictive for longer than markets had anticipated. The median path implies one additional hike this year with rates on hold through 2027.
