October could change the rules of the game in markets
The Fed minutes revealed a divide over the next move after raising interest rates to 3.75%–4%. With the labor market slowing while inflation remains above the 2% target, the October meeting has become an important milestone in determining the direction of monetary policy.
If the Fed moves to pause, the market equation could change:
Gold: Lower yields and a weaker dollar could provide additional support for gold.
₿ Bitcoin and crypto: Improved liquidity expectations could ease pressure on high-risk assets.
Stocks: A lower cost of capital could support technology and growth stocks.
🤖 Artificial intelligence: A sector dependent on massive investment in chips and data centers, making it sensitive to interest rate and yield movements.
But a pause does not mean the end of tightening; upcoming inflation and jobs data could reshape the picture entirely.
The real question now: Will the Fed start prioritizing growth and the labor market, or will inflation remain the decisive factor?
