#FedRateWatch | FOMC September: What’s The Fed’s Next Move?
The September FOMC decision has arrived, and the Federal Reserve raised its target federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%. The decision comes as inflation remains elevated, while the Fed continues to balance price stability with employment conditions. �

August CPI increased 0.4% month-over-month, while core CPI, excluding food and energy, increased 0.3%. On a 12-month basis, headline CPI was up 3.4%, while core CPI was up 2.4%. �

The bigger question now is what comes next. A higher-for-longer rate environment could keep financial conditions relatively tight. For BTC and technology stocks, higher rates can create pressure because investors may demand higher returns from riskier assets. Gold could also react to changing expectations for interest rates, inflation and the U.S. dollar.
For me, the key factors to watch next are the Fed’s future guidance, inflation data, employment numbers and market liquidity. Rather than reacting to a single headline, I think the market needs to see whether this rate increase becomes part of a longer policy trend or remains a limited adjustment.
The next move may matter even more than this move.
