📰 The U.S. Federal Reserve has ended multiple consecutive holds. The FOMC voted unanimously (12-0) to raise rates by 25 basis points, lifting the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%. This is the first rate hike since July 2023.
🔥 More importantly, this time it isn’t just a temporary lift that ends there. Of the 18 officials who submitted forecasts, 16 believe there will be at least one more rate hike before the end of 2026, and 4 of them even expect two additional hikes.
To be honest, a unanimous rate hike paired with this kind of forecast distribution makes the stance quite clear: most officials don’t seem to plan to stop for now. The median path shows that after one more hike this year, rates may stay unchanged in 2027, before gradually being lowered afterward.
💡 For the crypto market, if the period of keeping rates at a high level continues to stretch, it will be difficult for funding costs to come down quickly. Either way, those who were waiting for easing now have to rework the timeline. The next FOMC meeting is expected to be held in late October.
🤔 Do you think the Fed will deliver consecutive hikes in late October, or pause to observe the data first?
