U.S. equities trade lower after the Federal Reserve’s latest decision. The Nasdaq 100 finishes the session in correction territory, and the broader market declines as investors react to the Fed’s choice not to raise interest rates. According to Bloomberg and NDTV, the decision is accompanied by dissent within the Federal Open Market Committee: multiple officials vote for an increase rather than holding the policy rate steady. NDTV reports that three of 12 Fed officials favor a rate increase, reflecting concern among those voting “yes” about persistently elevated inflation. Bloomberg adds that a trio of dissents signals support for tighter monetary policy, even as the majority holds. The combined reporting indicates that while the central bank keeps rates unchanged, the internal split underscores ongoing debate over the inflation outlook and the appropriate pace of policy restraint. Market moves show the impact of those signals, with the Nasdaq 100 crossing into a technical correction and the S&P 500 ending the day lower following the announcement.
