📊 FOMC September: What's The Fed's Next Move? #FedRateWatch
August's core CPI rose 0.3% MoM, and the market is now pricing in roughly 90% odds of a 25bp hike this week. Is this just a one-off inflation spike, or the start of a longer hiking cycle? That's the question the trading community is buzzing about.
If the hike is confirmed, the impact could be mixed:
🔸 BTC & Crypto — Rate hikes typically pressure risk assets in the short term, but if the hike is already priced in, the market tends to stabilize.
🔸 Tech Stocks — Higher rates mean higher borrowing costs, which can squeeze growth stock valuations.
🔸 Gold — Traditionally dips a bit on hawkish news, but if inflation fears persist, safe-haven demand could keep it supported.
My take: watch the FOMC statement's tone closely — not just the hike itself, but the forward guidance will really steer market direction. Which asset are you most confident about right now? Drop your BTC/stocks/gold outlook in the comments. 👇 #FedRateWatch
