💸 What Are Interest Rates? The Federal Reserve (Fed) sets benchmark interest rates to control inflation and stabilize the economy. These rates directly affect borrowing costs for individuals and businesses.
🚫 Why No Rate Cut (Yet)? Despite market pressure, the Fed holds rates at 4.25%–4.50% because: • Inflation is still above the 2% target • Strong job market = high consumer demand • Rate cuts too early = risk of overheating
📊 Impact on Markets: • 📈 Stock Market: Lower rates = more liquidity = bullish sentiment • 📉 Crypto: Rate cuts boost risk-on assets like Bitcoin & ETH • 💵 Dollar Index: Weakens when rates drop → strengthens other assets
🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady at 4.25% - 4.50% for Fifth consecutive time.
🗓️ As widely expected, the Fed chose not to cut rates during its latest policy meeting.
💬 Jerome Powell reiterated that while inflation is easing, the Fed is not ready to cut until stronger signs of economic slowdown or sustained price stability emerge.
📉 Traders now await signals for potential cuts in Q4 2025, as pressure mounts from markets and political figures.
