Fed Holds Rates at 3.75–4.00%, Korean Markets React

The US Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged at 3.75–4.00% on October 28, 2026, following last month's quarter-point hike, as reported by Yonhap, Maeil Business, and Kyunghyang. The Fed gave little signal on its next move, with attention now on a possible December hike. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh notably said he pays "much more attention to the Korean economy than you think," per Dong-A Ilbo. Korean stocks opened slightly higher on October 29, buoyed by the Fed's decision and expectations for strong Samsung Electronics earnings, according to Yonhap and Korea Times.
