#FOMCMeeting The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting was held, and as expected, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged. Although there were no surprises, the tone was somewhat more hawkish than many anticipated. Jerome Powell made it clear that they do not yet see sufficient progress in inflation to lower rates anytime soon. The market reacted with some volatility: stocks down, strong dollar, and mixed movements in crypto. In summary, the Fed remains cautious, which could mean that rate cuts will come later than some had hoped. Keep an eye on the upcoming inflation data, as they will be key. The game continues, but patience will be the queen in this cycle.
