## Resource

The Fed holds rates steady for the third straight meeting, keeping them at 5.25%–5.5%, signaling caution as inflation cools but hasn’t hit their 2% target. With the job market and growth under watch, they’re not ready to cut rates yet—though future cuts may come later this year, pending data. Borrowing costs stay high for homes and loans, while businesses face elevated capital costs. The Fed’s balancing act: fighting inflation without triggering a recession.
