The Federal Reserve held the federal funds target range steady at 3.50%-3.75% following its March 17-18, 2026 FOMC meeting, marking the second consecutive pause amid stable 2.4% year-over-year CPI inflation for February and a slight uptick in unemployment to 4.4%. The updated dot plot projects a median rate of 3.4% by end-2026 and low-3% by 2027, signaling gradual easing contingent on sustained disinflation and balanced labor markets. CME FedWatch Tool implies over 94% odds of an April 28-29 hold, with trader consensus pricing limited cuts amid persistent services inflation risks. Key catalysts ahead include April 10 CPI data and June FOMC projections, which could shift market-implied rate paths versus official guidance.
