While a majority of members chose to keep interest rates unchanged, three members—Dallas Feds Logan, Cleveland Feds Hammark, and Minneapolis Feds Kashkari—voted in favor of a 25-basis-point rate hike. Barclays Marc Giannini stated, "The FOMC made a hawkish inaction decision." "This policy decision was made amidst significant hawkish headwinds, with these hawkish members favoring an immediate rate hike rather than waiting for more data."
