Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh: Will not predict future interest rate decisions, does not disclose intention to raise interest rates in October
--
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh stated that he will not make a judgment on interest rate decisions in advance and has not disclosed whether the Fed will continue to raise interest rates at its monetary policy meeting on October 27-28. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh stated at the 2026 IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok that the Fed had already made it clear when raising interest rates in September that it would achieve price stability and withdraw a certain degree of monetary policy easing, and would not predict the decision of any meeting. It is not appropriate to disclose the actions of the remaining meetings this year in advance. (Source: Golden Ten Data)
