A divided Fed votes to hold rates steady
The Federal Reserve, led by Kevin Warsh, decided to keep interest rates unchanged despite three bank presidents advocating for a rate hike. The decision reflects concerns about inflation persistence amid economic shocks from the Iran war, tariffs, AI, and immigration. President Trump endorsed Warsh, acknowledging political dynamics within the Fed's board.
