#FOMCMeeting

#FOMCMeeting BREAKING

The Fed just had their meeting, and the only thing going up faster than interest rates was Jerome Powell's stress level when someone said "soft landing."

Wall Street traders were excited: "Rates didn’t go up? Time to buy everything!"

Powell gave them a look like, "Did I say we’re done raising rates?"

Every millennial with a mortgage is asking:

"Can I refinance now?"

The Fed’s answer: "Nope, sorry."

Here’s how the markets are reacting:

Stocks: Going up

Bonds: Totally confused

Crypto: Acting like it’s 2021 again

Gold: Just chilling

Recession: Waiting patiently like it has a dentist appointment

Powell officially said: "We’ll do what we need to do."

Translation: "We’re guessing, based on charts."

The only thing that never changes after these meetings?

People get scared, confused, and have to Google what “hawkish” means.

See you at the next Fed meeting—bring snacks and maybe a friendly economist to explain things.
