Market Committee (#FOMCMeeting):
📌 What happened:
The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, moving the target range to 3.75%–4.00%.
The Fed emphasised that a rate cut at its next meeting (in December) is not a foregone conclusion, due to elevated uncertainty and incomplete data.
The Fed pointed out that employment and inflation outlooks remain under scrutiny, especially given recent data gaps caused by the U.S. government shutdown.
🔍 Why it matters:
Global markets watch the FOMC closely because rate decisions influence borrowing costs, investment flows, and sentiment in stocks and crypto.
The warning that December might not bring another cut signals the Fed is cautious — which can affect risk assets and currency/commodity markets.
For crypto and other sensitive asset classes, slower-than-expected easing can reduce upward momentum.
