The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, as was expected..
However, the surprise came from the Dot Plot, which showed a more hawkish path than market expectations.
​The Fed raised inflation forecasts for the year 2026 to 3.6% and lowered expectations for the pace of easing, indicating limited interest rate cuts during the upcoming period.
​Conclusion:
✅ Interest rates held / unchanged
⚠️ Higher than expected inflation
🔴 Hawkish tone
​Note:
The negative impact of the US Federal Reserve's announcement comes right after the historic interest rate hike by the Central Bank of Japan, which is expected to have a negative impact on crypto. 🔻
