The decision comes at a pivotal time for the Fed and central banks around the world.
The June meeting, which kicked off Tuesday, is Kevin Warsh s first as the central bank s chairman. Warsh has suggested he will adopt a different governing approach from former Fed Chair Jerome Powell and aims to emulate former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan. Notably, Warsh has not committed to holding press conferences after every policy meeting, a practice Powell instituted, though the Fed confirmed there will be a press conference on Wednesday.

The latest dot plot, released after the March meeting, showed Fed officials forecast just one rate cut in 2026.
