The U.S. Federal Reserve decided on Wednesday, October 28, to keep its benchmark rates unchanged in a range of 3.75% to 4%, after raising them in September for the first time in three years. Two of the 12 monetary policy officials voted for a quarter-point increase. The FOMC argued it needs more data to define its stance. Its chair, Kevin Warsh, said inflation is "too high." The decision came six days before the midterm elections.
