Fed holds rates; statement removes 'modestly' in describing disinflation

cross-referenced·11 outlets

The Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate at its current range as expected. The material change was in the language: the statement removed the word "modestly" in describing disinflation, signaling a stronger characterization of the trend.

Cross-referenced against the primary Fed press release, the language change appears in all 11 outlets reporting on the decision, with consistent emphasis on the wording shift.

Market reaction was muted in the minutes following the release. The 2-year Treasury yield moved ~3bps, consistent with the consensus interpretation that the statement is mildly dovish but not a regime change.
