Attendance at the first four days of the 2026 Minnesota State Fair reached 729,146, the highest opening-run total on record and averaging about 182,286 per day (over 13,000 per hour, 217 per minute, 3.6 per second). If the pace continues, the fair could approach 2.9 million visitors—well above the 2019 record of 2,126,551—though attendance typically slows after the opening period, meaning beat-the-record status is not guaranteed and would require roughly 174,676 daily attendees for the final eight days.

Peterson Institute economist Adam Posen argues it’s acceptable for the Fed to avoid committing to a path via forward guidance, but it must publish a credible forecast about inflation and the economy. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled that inflation remains the top concern and that the FOMC may need to raise rates again, possibly twice this year, though timing could slip into December/January due to elections. Posen warns that without a forecast, discussions become vague, and he anticipates inflation will persist, implying more tightening may be needed than markets currently expect.
