FED HITS THE PAUSE BUTTON! INTEREST RATES UNCHANGED!
Entry: 3.50% 📉
Target: 3.75% 🚀
The Fed is chilling. They are watching the data closely after the last cuts. No panic move here. They want to see the full impact before making any aggressive shifts. Labor market is stable, inflation is still above target. They are balancing support and control.
• Unemployment near 4.4% expected.
• Inflation needs sustainable control before the next move.
• 2026 might see a cut in March or June, data dependent.
Markets already priced this in. No surprise = Relief rally for S&P 500. Powell confirms Fed remains independent and data-driven. Rates are near neutral. Stability for borrowers and savers for now. The direction is set by CPI and jobs data ahead.
