FOMC Meeting July 29, 2026: Fed Holds Benchmark Rate Unchanged at 3.50–3.75%

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 24. July 2026 · Predicted for 29. July 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

85%

The US policy rate stands at 3.50–3.75% (effective 3.63%) as of July 22, 2026. CME FedWatch on July 21 showed 83.4% probability of no change at the July 29 FOMC — down from an early-July spike of 37.4% hike probability that faded as inflation expectations eased. Fed rhetoric signals 'higher for longer' while Core PCE stays above 3%. Neither a cut (premature given inflation) nor a hike (politically charged in a midterm year) is likely.

Swiss National Bank (SNB) Holds Policy Rate (SARON Target Band) Unchanged at 0.00% at the Monetary Policy Assessment on September 18, 2026

The SNB has held its policy rate at 0.00% since at least June 18, 2026. SARON fixing on July 21, 2026 stood at −0.04%, confirming the zero-rate regime. Swiss inflation sits at ~0.6%, well within the SNB's 0–2% target band, removing any urgency to act. The next quarterly assessment is September 18, 2026. Neither a cut into negative territory (no consensus for QE with stable economy) nor a hike (no inflation pressure) appears likely near-term. Markets price a stable SNB environment through at least end-2026.

US Core PCE June 2026 (Release July 25, 2026): Year-on-Year Rate at 3.0% or Above

US Core PCE for May 2026 came in at 3.4% YoY, the highest since October 2023. Lines.com and FOMC projections (June 2026 SEP: Q4 median 3.3%) place June at 3.2–3.4%. A print below 3.0% would require a 40+ bp single-month drop — near-impossible given persistent services inflation and tariff pass-through. CME FedWatch prices 83.4% probability of no rate change at the July 29 FOMC, implying markets expect no surprisingly low PCE.

The prediction only requires the index not fall more than ~0.8% over four trading days — a modest bar given current momentum.
