The Federal Reserve just sent shockwaves through global markets! ๐๐ฃ
At his latest press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell dropped two major surprises that caught investors off guard:
1๏ธโฃ Rates Unchanged: The Fed held interest rates steady โ defying expectations of an early cut. ๐
2๏ธโฃ No December Cut Guarantee: Powell made it clear โ a December rate cut isnโt a sure thing, even though markets had already priced one in. ๐ณ๐
๐ฅ The announcement rattled traders, sparking sharp moves as markets quickly recalibrated their expectations for the months ahead.
Powell described the decision as โpurely risk management,โ but investors were laser-focused on his uncertain tone about future easing. ๐ง๐ฌ

โ ๏ธ Volatility is back.
๐ธ Every word from Powell now matters.
Brace for a wild ride ahead, Wall Street. ๐๐
