📣 Breaking news: BlackRock predicts the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged at Wednesday's FOMC meeting, which could positively impact short-term Bitcoin (BTC) prices.

🔹 Marilyn Watson, BlackRock's Head of Global Basic Income Strategy, believes the central bank's target interest rate will remain unchanged until the end of the year.

🔹 However, Watson also predicts that the Fed's target interest rate will decrease slightly by 1% from the current level by the end of next year.

🔹 Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel also said that the Fed will not raise interest rates on Wednesday and should not do it, contrary to his view last year.
