Federal Reserve holds rates steady at Kevin Warsh's first meeting as chairman.
The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.5%-3.75% following its June 17, 2026 policy meeting, the first chaired by Kevin Warsh. The Fed removed forward guidance from its policy statement and announced five internal task forces to review monetary policy practices. Inflation stands at 4.2%, a three-year high, driven by energy price increases from the Iran war.
