📉 Interest Rates:
The Fed is holding steady at 4.25%–4.5%. Powell signaled “wait and see” mode—more data needed before any policy shifts.
💼 Labor Market:
U.S. jobs report still looking strong. Unemployment low, job growth stable = no imminent recession vibes.
🔥 Inflation Watch:
Cooling, but not quite there yet. Powell said progress toward 2% is “uneven,” with tariffs adding short-term pressure.
💥 Crypto Impact:
📈 Bitcoin Jumped +4% right after the speech, on hopes that rate cuts may be back on the table in the near future.
