#FOMCMeeting ℹ️📅🚔
1️⃣Tomorrow, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its next decision regarding interest rates. Although the former Trump administration pressured for a rate cut in the event of continued inflation decline, it is important to note that Donald Trump is no longer the President of the United States and Jerome Powell is still the President of the Fed, which is an independent institution.
2️⃣My expectation regarding the Fed's decision:
Given the current date (June 17, 2025) and the information that inflation continues to decrease, as well as past pressures for a rate reduction, it is likely that the Fed will opt for a pause in rate increases, or even a reduction. 3️⃣Central banks tend to adjust rates based on economic data, and declining inflation could justify a more accommodative monetary policy to stimulate growth. However, an increase is very unlikely if inflation is decreasing.↘️
4️⃣My positioning before the announcement:
In this context, my positioning would be as follows:
* Expectation of a pause or slight rate reduction: This would mean that the Fed might seek to support the economy.
* Monitoring Powell's comments: Beyond the decision on rates, the 5️⃣press release and Jerome Powell's press conference will be crucial to understand the Fed's future monetary policy outlook.
* Caution in the markets: Financial📈 markets can be volatile before and after such announcements. It would be wise to closely observe market reactions, particularly for Bitcoin ($BTC) mentioned in your message, as the Fed's decisions can influence risk appetite❗️
