About this data

The Fed lifted rates from near zero in 2022 to a 23-year-high 5.25–5.50% by mid-2023, then began cutting in late 2024. By 2026, under new Chair Kevin Warsh, the target range sits at 3.50–3.75% and was held for a fourth straight meeting in June 2026 — with officials signaling a possible hike later in the year as inflation re-accelerated.

Methodology & sources

Last updated: Jul 17, 2026

Methodology

Source-backed values are seeded for both charts: the year-end fed funds target midpoint (2021 → 2026) and a snapshot of current US benchmark rates. Every numeric point carries a sources[].ref and a value_basis. The rate path is from the Federal Reserve’s published FOMC history; the June 2026 hold (range 3.50–3.75%) is the fourth consecutive hold under Chair Kevin Warsh. The 10-year Treasury and 30-year mortgage are dated snapshots (mid/late June 2026). Fed-funds points use the midpoint of the target range. Re-verified 2026-06-22.
