Fed holds rates, hints at possible hike

The US Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged at 3.75–4.00% on October 28, 2026, after a quarter-point hike last month, citing rapid economic expansion while leaving the door open for further increases (Yonhap, Kyunghyang). Wall Street sees a December hike as likely, with the Fed giving little signal on its next move despite elevated inflation (Yonhap, Korea Times). Korean outlets report the decision as a pause after last month's hike, with the Fed noting "economic activity is expanding at a fast pace" (Hankyung).
