The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50% and 3.75% at its July meeting, despite three policymakers' support for a 25-basis-point increase.
The minutes showed the Fed, under Chair Warsh, shifting toward data-driven policy while placing less emphasis on forward guidance. Officials reiterated that inflation remains above 2% and that restoring price stability remains a key priority.
Inflation risks remained elevated as Middle East tensions drove higher energy costs and supply pressures, potentially slowing progress toward the Fed’s 2% inflation target.

Beth Hammack, Neel Kashkari and Lorie Logan dissented, backing a 25-basis-point rate hike amid persistent inflation and upside risks.
