#FOMCMeeting

The recent FOMC Meeting kept interest rates unchanged, maintaining the 4.25%–4.50% range, as expected. The Fed emphasized a data-driven approach, monitoring inflation trends and employment strength. Market participants closely watched Chair Jerome Powell’s tone, seeking clues on future rate cuts. While inflation has cooled slightly, the Fed remains cautious amid global uncertainties. Crypto markets showed short-term volatility—Bitcoin and Ethereum saw quick swings as traders reacted to the Fed's stance. With no clear signal on rate cuts, investors now eye September for possible easing. This pause supports market stability, but hawkish commentary may limit upside momentum in risk assets.
