- Outcome
- The Fed raised rates a quarter point on Sep 16 (12–0), the median projection for end-2026 rose from 3.8% to 4.1%, and futures priced the hike at about 93% going into the meeting. The invalidation needed two inflation prints under 3%; August and September came in at 3.4% and 3.7%. The market's conviction was not steady: hike odds fell to about 40% in late August before recovering.
