FOMC September: What Could the Fed’s Next Move Mean for Markets?
FedRateWatch
With August core CPI rising 0.3% month over month, markets are pricing in a strong chance of a 25bp rate hike this week. The key question is whether this would be a one-time move or the beginning of a longer tightening cycle.
A higher rate environment could pressure risk assets in the short term, including BTC and tech stocks, as borrowing costs rise and liquidity conditions tighten. Gold may see mixed reactions: higher yields can weigh on it, but uncertainty around inflation and growth could still support demand.
For now, I’m watching the Fed’s statement, inflation outlook, and any clues about future hikes. Volatility may increase around the announcement, so risk management matters more than chasing a quick move.
Watching how $BTC and other altcoins may perform too so keep an eye 🫡
