Leasing a car? Consider gap insurance to protect against losses that may not be covered by your current policy.

Gap Insurance for Leased Cars If you’re thinking of leasing a new car, then you shouldn’t forget about gap insurance.

The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points on September 16, 2026, bringing the target range to 3.75%–4% - its first rate hike since 2023.

The Federal Open Market Committee approved the move by a unanimous 12–0 vote, citing continued elevated inflation and a resilient labor market.

In its statement, the Committee said inflation "remains elevated" and that the rate action "will support a timelier return to the Committee's 2 percent goal."

Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh said inflation had been "too high ... for too long" and pointed to strong labor market data along with tensions in the Middle East as factors behind the decision.

Updated Fed projections show 16 of 18 committee officials expect at least one more rate hike this year, with four anticipating two more increases; two officials expect the Fed to hold at this single hike.
