So, what's the Fed doing about interest rates? The AP's Sagar Magani. The Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates at a two-decade high amid a run of hotter than expected inflation reports. The Fed had believed inflation was steadily easing. But in recent months, inflation has shown a lack of further progress toward our 2% objective. And Chair Jerome Powell says it will need greater confidence prices are slowing toward that goal before cutting rates. I don't know exactly when that will be. He says the Fed's prepared to keep the rates where they are as long as needed. After just six weeks ago, projecting three rate cuts this year. Some Fed officials have speculated rates may not be high enough to curb the economy and inflation. But Powell's dismissing that. I think it's unlikely that the next policy rate move will be a hike.
