Here is the July 31 FOMC statement:

Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to
expand at a solid pace. Job gains have moderated, and the unemployment
rate has moved up but remains low. Inflation has eased over the past
year but remains somewhat elevated. In recent months, there has been
some further progress toward the Committee’s 2 percent inflation
objective.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at
the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. The Committee judges that the
risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals continue to move
into better balance. The economic outlook is uncertain, and the
Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.

In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target
range for the federal funds rate at 5-1/4 to 5-1/2 percent. In
considering any adjustments to the target range for the federal funds
rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving
outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee does not expect it will
be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater
confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent. In
addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury
securities and agency debt and agency mortgage‑backed securities. The
Committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent
objective.

In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee
will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for
the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the
stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could
impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals. The Committee’s
assessments will take into account a wide range of information,
including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and
inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.

Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair;
John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Thomas I. Barkin; Michael S. Barr; Raphael
W. Bostic; Michelle W. Bowman; Lisa D. Cook; Mary C. Daly; Austan D.
Goolsbee; Philip N. Jefferson; Adriana D. Kugler; and Christopher J.
Waller. Austan D. Goolsbee voted as an alternate member at this meeting.
