The Federal Reserve's own July 29, 2026 Implementation Note states that the Fed 'has made the following decisions,' and Reuters and CNBC report the FOMC voted 9-3 to hold rates at 3.50%-3.75% that day.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

What we found

Supports. The Federal Reserve's July 29, 2026 Implementation Note states that the Fed 'has made the following decisions to implement the monetary policy stance announced by the Federal Open Market Committee.'[3]

Supports. Reuters reports that a divided Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged on July 29, 2026, keeping the policy rate in the 3.50%-3.75% range.[1]

Supports. CNBC reports the FOMC voted 9-3 on July 29, 2026 to hold the federal funds rate steady, with three regional presidents dissenting in favor of a hike.[4]

Context. Later sources (October 27-28, 2026) describe further Fed decisions, including a hold with the rate at about 3.9% or within 3.75%-4.00%, which do not bear on whether a decision was made on July 29.[2][5]
