Did the FOMC statement released on 16 September 2026 announce a 25-basis-point increase in the target range for the federal funds rate?

Answer

true
units
25 basis points means an upward change of 0.25 percentage points in both bounds of the target range. It does not mean a 25 percent proportional increase.
record
Resolve the policy decision in the Federal Reserve's FOMC statement dated 16 September 2026, released at 14:00 EDT (18:00 UTC). The one-minute observation interval identifies this release; it is not an oracle-response deadline.

true_rule
Return true if this official statement announces an increase of exactly 25 basis points in the federal funds target range.
exclusions
Exclude market forecasts, speeches, the effective overnight rate, other administered rates and a later FOMC meeting. The statement's announcement is the event, not its effective date.
false_rule
Return false if the official statement announces no change, a cut, or an increase of any other size.
chain_window_role
The block window is a request anchor only. This is off-chain panel evidence. Resolve the event or measurement using the exact observation interval and rules above, not blockchain time or a rolling period.
