🚨 FED DAY
The Federal Reserve’s September meeting is underway, with markets heavily expecting a 25 basis-point rate hike. If it happens, it would be the Fed’s first rate increase since 2023.
But the bigger story may not be the rate hike itself. Markets will be paying close attention to the Fed’s dot plot and the comments from Fed officials for clues about where interest rates could be heading over the next few years.
The dot plot is basically a snapshot of where Fed policymakers expect interest rates to go. A more hawkish outlook could put pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, while a softer outlook could support market liquidity and risk appetite.
This is why the Fed matters. Interest rates influence liquidity, the dollar, borrowing costs and ultimately how much risk investors are willing to take.
today, don't just watch the headline “Fed hikes 25 bps.” Watch the details behind the decision. Sometimes the market reaction comes less from what the Fed does today and more from what it signals about tomorrow.
