FOMC September: What Could the Fed Do Next? #FedRateWatch
The September FOMC meeting is the key event for markets today. August core CPI increased 0.3% month-over-month, keeping inflation concerns alive. Ahead of the decision, markets were pricing a very high probability of a 25bp rate hike, with estimates above 90%.
If the Fed delivers a hike, the immediate reaction could be mixed. $BTC and tech stocks may face short-term pressure because higher rates can reduce liquidity and risk appetite. Gold could also react negatively initially, although safe-haven demand and inflation concerns may limit the downside.
The bigger question is whether this would be a one-off hike or the beginning of a longer tightening cycle. The Fed's statement, economic projections and Chair's comments will be just as important as the rate decision itself.
For traders, volatility is likely to remain high. I’ll be watching $BTC , tech stocks and gold closely and waiting for confirmation before making the next move.
What do you expect: 25bp hike or a hold? 👇
