# The Fed just wrapped up their latest meeting—and the only thing climbing faster than interest rates was Jerome Powell’s blood pressure when someone brought up a “soft landing.”

Wall Street bros: “Rate pause? Time to moon!”

Powell, stone-faced: “Did I say we’re done?”

Every millennial with a mortgage:

“Is now a good time to refinance?”

FOMC: “Yeah… that’s a hard pass.”

Market reactions so far:

Stocks: heading up

Bonds: having an identity crisis

Crypto: throwing a 2021-style rager

Gold: calmly sipping on chamomile

Recession: still in the waiting room, flipping through outdated magazines

Powell’s official line: “We’ll act as needed.”

Translation: “We’re just making it up as we go—with spreadsheets.”

Let’s be real—the only things guaranteed after an FOMC meeting are anxiety, market whiplash, and Gen Z asking what “hawkish” means.
