  "transcript": "Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us. Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 5.25% to 5.50%. This decision reflects our ongoing assessment of the economic outlook and the progress we've made in bringing inflation down towards our 2% longer-run objective. The U.S. economy continues to demonstrate resilience. We've seen robust job growth, with the unemployment rate remaining historically low at 3.8% as of August. Consumer spending has held up well, supported by strong labor markets and rising real incomes. However, we are mindful that growth has moderated somewhat from the rapid pace seen earlier in the year. On the inflation front, while we have seen significant progress, inflation remains elevated. The latest Personal Consumption Expenditures, or PCE, price index data for August showed an annual increase of 3.2%. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was at 3.5%. These figures, while lower than a year ago, indicate that the job is not yet done. We need to see further sustained progress to be confident that inflation is moving decisively towards our target. Our monetary policy actions are working. We are committed to achieving our dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. The Committee will continue to monitor incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. Future decisions will be data-dependent. We are prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of our goals. Looking ahead, the Committee's projections indicate that most participants anticipate one more rate hike this year, bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 5.50% to 5.75%. However, this is not a commitment, and the path ahead remains uncertain. We expect inflation to gradually decline further over the next year, reaching closer to 2.5% by the end of 2027. The risks to the outlook are balanced. Geopolitical events continue to pose a risk, as do potential shifts in global energy markets. Domestically, a prolonged period of higher interest rates could weigh more heavily on certain sectors of the economy. We are watching these developments closely. Our primary focus remains on restoring price stability for the benefit of all Americans.",
