BREAKING 🚨

The Federal Open Market Committee has kept the benchmark rate unchanged at 3.50%‑3.75% following a 9‑3 vote, but delivered a decidedly hawkish tone. Officials warned that further hikes remain on the table as inflation stays above the 2% target.

Some analysts argue the firm stance could reinforce risk‑on sentiment, driving capital toward crypto assets seeking higher yields. 📈 Conversely, traders caution that the persistent inflation threat may trigger broader market volatility, prompting a flight to safety and pressure on digital currencies.
