US Federal Reserve Keeps Interest Rates UnchangedWashington, 28 Jan 2026 (ONA) – The US Federal Reserve has left its key interest rate unchanged at its first policy meeting of 2026, citing continued uncertainty over the economic outlook. The central bank said it had maintained the benchmark overnight lending rate within a range of 3.50% to 3.75%. In a statement, the Fed noted that the unemployment rate has shown signs of stabilizing, while job gains remain modest. The decision to hold rates was approved by 10 committee members, with two dissenting, who argued in favor of a 25-basis-point cut.—Ends/AG
