## Resource

The Fed just paused again—holding rates steady for the third straight time as inflation cools but still lingers above their 2% target. With a strong job market giving them breathing room, they’re signaling they may be done with hikes for now… but not ruling out future moves if inflation doesn’t cooperate. Borrowing costs stay stable for now, but savers won’t see higher returns anytime soon. The Fed’s watching the data closely—this pause isn’t the end, it’s a holding pattern.
