Fed holds rates, cites increased risk of setbacks in the labor market, inflation

The Federal Reserve hits pause on rate hikes—again—while quietly sweating over a potential double-whammy of sputtering jobs data and sticky inflation.

Jerome Powell & Co. telegraphed caution in their latest non-move, signaling that the ’soft landing’ narrative might need a rewrite. Markets barely blinked—because at this point, everyone knows the drill: extend-and-pretend until something breaks.

Bonus jab: Another masterclass in kicking the can down the road. Maybe next time they’ll add ’transitory’ back to the glossary.
