US Fed Meeting Live Updates: Welcome to our live coverage of the US Federal Reserve's October policy decision, with markets widely expecting interest rates to remain unchanged at 3.75%-4.00%.
Rising energy costs, fuelled in part by the US war with Iran, are adding to inflationary pressures, with consumer inflation climbing to 3.7% in September and producer prices also moving higher. Markets are pricing in a roughly 90% chance of a rate hold, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. The decision is due at 2 p.m. EDT (11:30 p.m. IST), following a two-day meeting, just days before the November 3 elections. US President Donald Trump has criticised the Fed over its reluctance to cut rates, while Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has refrained from offering clear guidance on the central bank's next move.
