Here's Where the Fed May Take Interest Rates Under Chairman Kevin Warsh
The new jobs report may have complicated the decision.
Overview
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh began leading the U.S.'s central bank in March, and since then, the Fed has kept interest rates unchanged at both of its meetings. This past meeting, however, presented the largest Fed dissent in a decade, with nine policymakers voting to keep interest rates steady and three voting to raise them.
The Fed will hold its next meeting in September, and people are torn on which way the committee will rule. A couple of different factors at play make the decision not so clear-cut. However, signs are pointing to another meeting without an increase.
