Powell's Speech – A Statement that Shook Both Financial and Crypto Markets

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just delivered a speech closely watched by global investors. Although maintaining a “balanced” tone, Powell emphasized that inflation has not decreased as expected and the Fed will continue to be cautious with interest rate policies.

The message is clear: interest rate cuts will not occur as soon as the market expects, possibly being delayed until late 2025 if economic data does not improve quickly. The stock market immediately reacted with a decline, while Bitcoin and gold prices showed signs of a slight rebound, indicating that investors are beginning to seek a place of “shelter.”

Powell's speech is not just a macroeconomic update – it serves as a short-term guide for global capital flows, especially in the context of the market waiting for clear signals from the Fed.
