#FOMCMeeting

📉🇺🇸 #FOMCMeeting is once again in the spotlight of global markets. The U.S. Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, but the rhetoric has become more hawkish: now only one rate cut is projected for 2025, instead of the three previously expected. This is a signal to the markets — "high rates for a long time."

📊 Inflation in the U.S. remains persistently high, and the labor market is strong. All of this gives the Fed reason to maintain a tight monetary policy. As a result:

💵 The dollar is strengthening

📉 Gold and cryptocurrencies are in decline

📈 Bond yields are rising again

Investors are closely watching Jerome Powell's comments. He emphasizes: "We are ready to respond to the data." This means that any new statistics could radically change market expectations.

📌 Trade cautiously: on such days, volatility can spike sharply.
