Puru Saxena: FOMC leaves rates unchanged as 9 officials see possible hike in 2026
Fed holds rates, 2026 hike possible

Puru Saxena, investment commentator and ex-fund manager, summarizes the latest Federal Open Market Committee decisions. The U.S. Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate steady, with 9 of the 18 officials expecting at least one rate increase in 2026. The Fed does not anticipate personal consumption expenditures inflation to return to its 2% target until 2028.

Saxena recently attributed a stock market pullback to profit taking following an AI-driven rally, noting its connection to recent inflation data and a FOMC meeting in a prior commentary. He has also emphasized the importance of patience and maintaining a disciplined investment approach during drawdowns to support long-term growth. These perspectives inform his ongoing commentary on market reactions to Federal Reserve decisions.
