📢 FOMC Meeting Update – Fed Holds, But Dissent Grows
The U.S. Federal Reserve has kept rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, as expected. However, for the first time in years, two Fed officials dissented, pushing for a rate cut — a possible signal of shifting policy.
💬 Powell emphasized a data-driven approach but acknowledged slowing inflation and weaker job growth.
📊 Markets now price in a 60% chance of a rate cut by September. Crypto and risk assets may see increased volatility in the coming weeks.
🔍 Key takeaway: No cut yet, but the Fed may be preparing the ground for one soon.
