The voting for the monetary policy rate to remain unchanged was 9-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh&nbsp;was pleased with the economy\u2019s resilience, positive trends,&nbsp;solid job&nbsp;growth&nbsp;and the unemployment rate. Inflation was more elevated than the committee\u2019s 2 percent goal, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warsh reiterated the committee\u2019s commitment to&nbsp;delivering&nbsp;price stability, but he struggled to explain what tools,&nbsp;when to use those tools, and how certain tools will help the Fed get down to the 2 percent range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/\">Moving Help\u00ae<\/a>&nbsp;will&nbsp;explain why the Federal Reserve came to this decision, and what it means for homebuyers who are looking to buy or sell a house&nbsp;in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Voted for and Against This Policy Rate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Open Market Committee\u2019s vote was 9-3, with nine members voting for the monetary policy rate to remain unchanged and to leave the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.5 to 3.75 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Federal Reserve announced in a 9-3 vote to hold rates steady at 3.5-3.75 \u2014 for the fifth straight time in 2026.<br><br>This is the second highest number of dissenters since the April 2026 meeting.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FederalReserve?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FederalReserve<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FOMC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FOMC<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Keenan Betz (@surebetkeenan) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/surebetkeenan\/status\/2082530225200812093?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 29, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three dissenting members \u2014&nbsp;Governors Beth M.

Warsh mentioned during his first press conference that he wanted a family fight, and that&#8217;s what he got during the discussions in the two-day July meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI asked for a good family fight and I got one.&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;the purpose.&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;the design feature.&nbsp;I come into this meeting, even this press conference, heartened by what&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;experienced the last two days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&nbsp;mainly discussed&nbsp;what powers, tools, and authority&nbsp;they have that they can use to deliver stable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy view, which&nbsp;you&#8217;ve&nbsp;long heard, is&nbsp;what&#8217;s&nbsp;a better way to get&nbsp;policy&nbsp;right?&nbsp;&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;our North Star,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the Future Hold?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future is murky. Financial markets are expecting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at least one time before the end of December 2026 with a hike increase coming as soon as the September 2026 Federal Reserve&nbsp;meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked whether raising interest rates is the best solution to help fix the elevated inflation, Warsh&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;provide much substance. Raising rates is one tool,&nbsp;but not the only tool they can use, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh spent plenty of time during today\u2019s press conference saying this board will deliver its 2 percent goal, but he repeatedly never gave direct, specific examples on how or when it will happen.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FederalReserve?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FederalReserve<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FOMC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FOMC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fidBFrdo7m\">https:\/\/t.co\/fidBFrdo7m<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Keenan Betz (@surebetkeenan) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/surebetkeenan\/status\/2082547414293229662?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 29, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warsh also pointed out&nbsp;his task forces and getting better information and making more informed decisions from more resources. Warsh understands the impatience from American families and businesses because inflation has been elevated for&nbsp;63 months,&nbsp;but this board has been in business for&nbsp;only eight and a half weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are on-the-job, we will deliver, we are focused like a laser on making sure we can do it, but the suggestion that we&#8217;re going to be able to do it with our magic wand is one I want to disabuse you and everyone else of, but the discussion the last two days give me more confidence even than I had eight and a half weeks ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warsh never provided a clear, direct answer to the question of \u201cHow will you get inflation down?\u201d Warsh made it clear, however, that the Fed will be judged on its ability to get inflation down to 2 percent.&nbsp;They\u2019re&nbsp;working on it, and&nbsp;they\u2019ll&nbsp;deliver it, but&nbsp;again, he&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;say how that&nbsp;would&nbsp;happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does This Mean for Home Mortgage Rates?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the Federal Reserve&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;increase or cut interest rates, housing mortgage rates&nbsp;won\u2019t&nbsp;see a rapid decline or increase in interest rates. Mortgage interest&nbsp;rates have increased since the last Fed meeting, but&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;nowhere&nbsp;near the highs seen in 2023 to mid-2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Jan.&nbsp;2, 2025, to&nbsp;July 23, 2026, a 30-year mortgage rate has hovered anywhere between&nbsp;5.98 percent&nbsp;to&nbsp;7.04 percent, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freddiemac.com\/pmms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Freddie&nbsp;Mac<\/a>.

In his first meeting in June, he mentioned they would hold press conferences when the Federal Reserve has something to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A reporter asked what the news was today since the Fed&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;change the rates, which is when Warsh told the press he would hold press conferences for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reviewing communications is important to Warsh, so&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;possible in 2027&nbsp;that&nbsp;the Fed may have&nbsp;less&nbsp;press conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump&nbsp;still wants rates lowered, and he believes Warsh can deliver lower rates and wants lower rates.
