#FOMCMeeting
📢 Latest FOMC Meeting – July 2025
What Happened & Why It Matters
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held its most recent meeting in July 2025. This meeting was very important because it gave new updates on the U.S. economy, interest rates, and inflation.
📌 Key Points:
1. Interest Rates Stayed the Same:
The FOMC decided not to raise interest rates this time. Rates will stay between 5.25% – 5.50%.
2. Inflation Still a Concern:
Inflation in the U.S. is slowly coming down, but it's still above the target of 2%. So, the Fed wants to be careful.
3. No Rate Cuts Yet:
Many investors were hoping for lower interest rates, but the Fed said it is not ready yet. They want to see more economic improvement first.
4. Job Market is Strong:
Employment is growing, and the economy is stable. But the Fed wants to avoid a “second wave” of inflation.
🪙 What This Means for Crypto & Investors:
Bitcoin (BTC) stayed strong but may face volatility.
Ethereum (ETH) and other altcoins may move up or down depending on market sentiment.
Stablecoins like USDT/USDC remain safe but their demand changes based on interest news.
