TODAY THE FED WILL ANNOUNCE ITS DECISION ON INTEREST RATES.
WATCH OUT Washington D.C. time (14:00 EST)
Today, Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the United States Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its decision on interest rates. The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its January meeting, after having made three consecutive cuts in the past.
President Donald Trump has put pressure on further rate cuts, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has emphasized the importance of central bank independence and has shown caution, preferring to observe the behavior of inflation and the economy before making further adjustments.
The Fed's interest rate decisions can influence financial markets, including the cryptocurrency market. Currently, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is $101,818.0, down $722.0 (-0.7%) from the previous close.
Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,089.72, down $82.26 (-2.59%) over the same period.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its interest rate decision today, January 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Washington D.C. time (14:00 EST). In Lima, Peru, this corresponds to 2:00 p.m. (14:00 PET), as both cities share the same time zone.
Afterwards, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will hold a press conference to explain the decision and answer questions.
It is important to keep an eye on this announcement, as Fed decisions can influence financial markets, including the cryptocurrency market.
