US Fed holds interest rates steady despite surging inflation
The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady, in line with market expectations, days ahead of crucial midterm elections where surging inflation has been a key issue. The 12-member Federal Open Market Committee voted 10-2 to hold rates at a target range between 3.75 to 4.00 per cent

What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the item as a Fed rate decision day and note that Chair Kevin Warsh is briefing afterward. The Guardian US is the only one to foreground that this is the last rate-setting meeting before the midterms and to mention last month’s rate increase, while the Associated Press alone emphasizes inflation and links it to recent oil and gas price spikes. PBS NewsHour is limited to a live briefing notice and does not add extra context in its headline.
