#FOMCMeeting

Anticipating the Fed's Decision:

Tomorrow, the Fed will announce its next interest rate decision, and all eyes are on the outcome. Recently, President Trump urged Fed Chair Powell to consider cutting rates again, suggesting he might need to "force something" if inflation continues to ease while rates stay unchanged.

👉 Here are historical examples of the Fed's responses to various factors beyond inflation:

1. 2008 Financial Crisis: Slashed rates to near zero and implemented QE to stabilize the economy.

2. Dot-Com Bubble (2000): Cut rates from 6.5% to 1% to encourage growth after the bubble burst.

3. Post-9/11 (2001): Reduced rates to support the economy amid uncertainty.

4. COVID-19 (2020): Cut rates to zero and launched asset purchases to maintain liquidity.

5. Taper Tantrum (2013): Communicated plans to taper bond buying to avoid market disruption.

These examples illustrate the Fed's adaptive monetary policy responses. So keep your eye on the market shift as there will be significant impacts of the rate change as previous.

💬 What are your expectations? Will there be a hike, a cut, or another pause? How are you positioning yourself ahead of the announcement?
