Fed Stays Put Amid Growing Frustration Over Inflation

On July 15, 2026, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh testified before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee to deliver the semiannual monetary policy report. Despite growing frustration over high prices, the Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged for now.

The testimony comes as inflation continues to be a major concern for the US economy. While some experts had predicted that the Fed would raise interest rates to combat inflation, it appears that they will maintain the current rate for the time being.
