The Federal Reserve’s September 16, 2026 decision to raise the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00% reflects persistent inflation pressures, with August CPI at 3.4% year-over-year driven largely by energy prices. The updated dot plot shows a median endpoint of 4.1% for 2026 and steady policy through 2027, signaling trader expectations for at least one additional hike before year-end amid solid growth and a resilient labor market. Market-implied futures align with this path, pricing limited easing until 2027. Key upcoming catalysts include the October 28 and December 9 FOMC meetings, where fresh economic projections and data releases will shape the terminal rate ahead of 2027.
