📢 Jerome Powell: "We're not in a hurry..."
The Fed keeps the rate unchanged and continues to wait. Key signals from Powell's latest speech:
🟡 Key points: — The interest rate remains in the range of 5.25–5.50%
— In 2025, only 2 rate cuts are possible, not 3 as previously expected
— The Fed sees "significant uncertainty" due to tariffs and geopolitics
— Powell: "We want to make sure that inflation is really decreasing before we ease up."
📊 Market reaction: — BTC: stability above $104,000
— ETH: holding around $2,520
— Nasdaq and S&P 500 — without significant movements
— Investors are now pricing in a rate cut no earlier than September
🔍 What does this mean for crypto? ✅ Expectations for a rate cut remain — this is a bullish signal in the long term
⚠️ Short-term volatility is possible — especially with new data on inflation or tariffs
🧠 Crypto remains attractive as a hedge against currency risks and geopolitical instability
📅 Next important event: inflation data and Fed meeting in September
