Aziz KarimovThe Federal Reserve is likely to leave its benchmark rate unchanged at the October 28 meeting, despite inflation above target and market expectations of a hike by the end of the year.

Dilnoza RahimovaSpeaking at the annual IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh reaffirmed his commitment to price stability but declined to prejudge rate decisions for October and December. He noted the unexpected resilience of the global economy, an investment boom in the US, and called AI the biggest economic transformation, which is so far boosting demand and inflation.
Dilnoza RahimovaThe euro fell to $1,111 — its lowest level since mid-May 2025 — and to £0.842, a low since early June 2025. Pressure comes from rising energy prices due to the war involving Iran, the French public finance crisis, and a stronger dollar after US inflation hit 3.7%. The ECB has raised rates twice this year, but that has not stopped the decline. Investors await Fed decisions on October 28 and ECB decisions on October 29.
