US ⁢Federal Reserve⁣ Interest Rates ⁢- ​January 22, 2026

The ​Federal ReserveS Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concluded its January 30-31, 2026 ⁣meeting, ⁢maintaining the federal⁢ funds rate in a target range of 5.25% – 5.50%. ⁣This marks ‌the eighth consecutive meeting⁢ where the committee has held rates‍ steady, signaling a pause in its tightening cycle initiated ​in March ‍2022.The committee⁤ continues‌ to assess‍ incoming economic data⁢ and‌ its implications ‍for the economic outlook.

Federal Funds Rate: Current ‍Status

The federal funds rate ‌currently sits in ‌a ​target range of 5.25% – 5.50%, unchanged since the July 26, ‌2023​ FOMC meeting. Minutes from⁤ the January 30-31, 2026 meeting indicate the committee⁢ remains vigilant against inflation risks but acknowledges the cooling​ labor market.

The federal funds ‌rate is​ the target rate that the Federal Reserve wants banks to charge one another for the overnight lending of reserves. ⁢ Changes to this rate influence other⁣ interest rates throughout‍ the economy, ⁣impacting borrowing costs for consumers ⁢and businesses.

Example: The ⁢current rate ‍range means banks can ‍borrow from each other overnight at rates within that range. This, in turn, influences the prime​ rate, which⁤ affects rates⁤ on many consumer ⁢loans,​ like mortgages and credit cards.

Recent FOMC Meetings ​and Statements

The FOMC holds⁢ eight regularly ⁢scheduled ⁤meetings per ‍year to discuss⁤ monetary​ policy. The 2026 FOMC schedule outlines these dates.

Recent ‍statements have emphasized ⁣a data-dependent approach. The committee will continue to⁢ monitor inflation, ​employment, and global ⁢economic conditions before making further adjustments to ‍monetary policy.The January 31,‍ 2026 statement specifically ​noted ‌that “the Committee ⁤remains highly attentive ‍to inflation risks.”

Detail: The FOMC’s statements are ​carefully worded to provide forward guidance to markets. Analysts closely⁢ scrutinize ‌these statements for ‍clues about the committee’s future intentions.

Evidence: The December 13, 2023‍ FOMC⁣ statement ‌ projected multiple ⁤rate cuts in 2024, a forecast that was revised throughout 2024 and 2025 as⁢ inflation proved ⁤more persistent than initially ⁣anticipated.
