In contrast to unchanged taxes, the FED opts for a cautious approach during midterm elections. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), consisting of twelve members including the president, Kevin Warsh, decided to keep the federal funds rate at the current level of 3.75% to 4%. The committee acknowledged that inflation would remain elevated but emphasized that it would continue to closely monitor the economy.

The Fed's statement also indicated the possibility of further increases in fed funds rates based on the performance of inflation in the upcoming months. A significant transformation compared to previous decisions, the FOMC highlighted a preference for avoiding premature guidance, which was a unique feature of recent monetary policies. This change suggests a more measured approach to monetary policy in the future, reflecting the Fed's desire to avoid an overly early tightening of credit conditions.

Initiatives have had a relatively mature reaction, with US investors registering small increases after the announcement. Interest rates on national debt have extended further, indicating that investors remain cautious regarding potential political changes. Short-term interest rates showed some signs of stability, suggesting that the promising ones are adapting to their expectations.

This decision reflects the Fed's determination to maintain financial stability and ensure that its actions are guided by thorough and complete analysis of available information. Despite the current Fed stance being characterized by caution, it continues to prioritize the long-term health of the US economy and the stability of financial markets.
