Fed holds rates at 3.75%-4%; two officials dissent for a hike
The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged, with Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissenting in favor of a hike, according to Decrypt and The Defiant. The Defiant and r/stocks report the target range at 3.75%-4%, and The Defiant notes the dissent followed September's unanimous rate hike. Decrypt says a December rate hike is in play, while r/stocks frames the question as whether another hike comes in December.
