概要

The Federal Reserve just announced it’s holding interest rates steady. No hike. No cut. Just a pause. But is “doing nothing” actually good news?

In this episode of The Tradeoff, Mattie Duppler breaks down what the Fed’s decision not to change rates really tells us about the economy, the labor market, and what households should expect in 2026. Rather than focusing on the headline itself, Mattie walks listeners through why markets respond to Federal Reserve decisions and how to read the central bank’s signals when rates don’t move at all.

You’ll learn how to track changes in the Fed’s official statement, why the removal of language about “downside risks to employment” matters, and what it suggests about job strength, wage growth, and future rate cuts. Mattie also explains why a confident Fed may be better for household budgets than another quarter-point cut and why political pressure on the central bank can send the wrong economic signal.

With another Fed meeting coming in March, leadership turnover ahead this summer, and Supreme Court decisions looming over central bank independence, this episode gives you a practical roadmap for understanding what’s next and how interest rate decisions show up in your daily life.
