Summary

The Fed just paused its rate hikes—again—keeping borrowing costs steady at 5.25% to 5.5%. After three straight meetings of no change, officials are giving the economy time to adjust to higher rates, even as inflation still lingers above their 2% goal. They’re holding tight until they see clear, consistent signs of cooling prices. Businesses and consumers are still feeling the squeeze, and while the Fed aims to avoid recession, economists are split on whether they can pull it off. Next moves? Watch the data—every meeting could bring a new decision. For now, patience is the policy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
