US Fed expected to hold rates steady ahead of key midterm elections

The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady at 3.75 to 4.00 percent on Wednesday, six days before midterm elections. Markets anticipate a pause despite September inflation reaching 3.7 percent, driven by energy costs and tariffs. Chair Kevin Warsh will announce the decision and hold a press conference, with policymakers signaling no immediate urgency to raise rates further.
