Fed keeps rates steady amid calls for hike

The U.S. Federal Reserve decided to keep the main interest rate unchanged at 3.75%, despite opposition from three committee members who favored raising it to combat persistent inflation above the Fed’s 2% target. The committee voted 9 to 3 in favor of holding steady, amid differing views among members. Supporters emphasized that inflation still burdens households and requires a tightening of monetary policy, while opponents pointed out that there are no clear signs of inflation slowing down. The decision comes amid continued economic growth and rising inflationary pressures from tariffs and higher energy prices, with expectations of a possible rate hike in September if progress is not made in reducing inflation.
