#FOMCMeeting
With the May FOMC meeting approaching, the CME “FedWatch” tool indicates only a 2.7% probability of a 25 basis points rate cut signaling that markets are largely ruling out monetary easing in the short term. This shift in expectations reflects persistent inflation concerns and stronger-than-expected economic data, which may force the Federal Reserve to keep rates higher for longer. For crypto and other high-risk assets, this means a less favorable macro environment in the near term. Investors may need to reconsider their risk allocations, focusing more on capital preservation or diversifying into less rate-sensitive sectors while closely monitoring upcoming Fed signals.
