Fed holds rates steady amid elevated inflation

The U.S. Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged at about 3.9 percent (or 3.75–4.00 percent) on October 28, 2026, despite elevated inflation, following last month's quarter-point hike. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said inflation is 'too high,' and the central bank gave little signal about its next move, though it left the door open for further hikes. Korean stocks opened slightly higher on October 29, buoyed by the Fed's decision and expectations for strong Samsung Electronics earnings.
