The September FOMC will be a crucial moment for financial markets. With core CPI in August rising 0.3% MoM, the chances of a 25 basis point (bp) rate hike have soared to 90%. I expect the Fed to raise rates this week, but this is likely to be a one-off increase at the end of the cycle, rather than the start of a longer tightening phase. If this hike does happen, the impact will vary: Bitcoin (BTC) & Tech Stocks: Tends to be bearish in the short term as liquidity tightens. Gold: Potentially bullish as a safe-haven asset amid rising economic uncertainty. My trading plan: I’m choosing a gradual accumulation (DCA) of BTC and gold in support areas, while reducing exposure to overvalued tech stocks.
