The Fed has now delivered a 25 bps rate hike, taking the federal funds target range to 3.75%–4.00%. August core CPI also came in at 0.3% month-over-month, showing that inflation is still not fully under control. (Federal Reserve)

For me, the key question is not just the hike itself — it’s what comes next.

📉 BTC: Higher rates can create short-term pressure as liquidity tightens, so volatility could remain high.

📊 Tech stocks: Higher borrowing costs can weigh on growth and tech valuations, especially if markets start pricing in more hikes.

🥇 Gold: Gold could remain supported by inflation concerns and uncertainty, although higher yields can create pressure.

I’m watching the Fed’s next signals closely rather than chasing the first market move. Patience and risk management matter most in this environment.
