The Federal Reserve left the federal funds rate unchanged at its July meeting, keeping the target range of 5.25% to 5.5%. In its statement, the committee says “risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals continue to move into better balance” and “there has been some further progress toward the Committee’s 2 percent inflation objective.”
The decision was unanimous, with Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee voting as an alternate due to the retirement of Loretta Mester, who ran the Cleveland Fed.
