US Fed expected to hold rates as inflation, energy costs weigh ahead of midterms

The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady at its upcoming meeting, despite persistent inflation and rising energy costs. The decision comes days before the November 3 midterm elections. Analysts note that while some officials support further hikes due to inflation above the 2% target, policymakers may delay action to avoid political scrutiny. The Fed last raised rates in September to a 3.75%-4% range.
