The Federal Reserve releases another "minimal statement"; full text compared with the Fed's September meeting statement
On September 16, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis-point interest rate hike, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%, with unanimous approval from all 12 votes. Compared to the July statement, this statement removed the specific mention of the "Middle East conflict," replacing it with "developments in geopolitical situations." It also added the phrase "domestic spending remains resilient," and simplified the language regarding inflation to "remains elevated." Overall, the communication style continues the minimalist approach of the new Chairman Walsh.
