The Federal Reserve finished a two-day policy meeting [music] in Washington today, where they decided to leave interest rates unchanged at around 3.6%.
However, the vote among the 12 members was not unanimous.
Three [music] members dissented in favor of a quarter point rate increase as the Fed tries to figure out how to battle persistently [music] high inflation.
Wall Street still expects the Fed to have to raise rates by about a quarter point at its [music] next meeting in September.
Wednesday's decision to leave rates unchanged is somewhat good news for consumers, but they might not feel a ton of relief, and that's because credit card rates still remain around 20%, and the rate on a fixed 30-year mortgage is around [music] 6.6%, the highest since last August.
