🚨 FED MINUTES: ANOTHER HIKE STILL ON THE TABLE. The latest Federal Reserve minutes are keeping markets on edge. Officials unanimously supported the September 25-basis-point hike, taking the federal funds target to 3.75%–4.00%. More importantly, most policymakers said another increase by year-end would likely be appropriate, although future decisions remain dependent on incoming data.
The message is clear: inflation is still the Fed main concern, and policymakers are not ready to declare victory yet. The minutes also point to upside inflation risks linked to strong demand, energy pressures and AI-related investment.
For BTC, this is a short-term headwind. A higher for longer Fed can strengthen the dollar, push yields higher and reduce liquidity available for risk assets like Bitcoin.
Gold (XAU) faces similar pressure from higher real yields and a stronger dollar, although safe haven demand can cushion the downside.
