🚨MARKETS ON EDGE — FED HOLDS STEADY!🚨
The financial world is holding its breath…
🏦 The Fed just kept rates unchanged at 4.25–4.50%, signaling only two cuts likely later this year, possibly September or beyond.
📉 Equities dipped, bonds jittered, and crypto paused — all eyes now shift to inflation data and geopolitical developments.
🛢️ Rising oil from Middle East tensions
📊 Sticky inflation still a concern
💵 Strong USD pressure from global rate divergence
📉 Growth forecast trimmed = STAGFLATION RISK?
What It Means for Traders:
🔹 Stay cautious — volatility is the name of the game
🔹 Defensive plays may dominate until easing signs emerge
🔹 Crypto traders — watch for short-term traps and breakout fakeouts
🧠 Powell’s message is clear: “We’re not done watching data.”
📌 Next stop: CPI, jobless claims, and housing data.
The market’s fuse is lit — will it boom or bust?
