🚨 FED DECISION: WHAT THE MARKET WAS WATCHING 🇺🇸
Before the decision, traders were focused on four possible paths:
🔹 +25 BPS + Hawkish Warsh
→ Higher-for-longer fears could pressure risk assets.
🔹 +25 BPS + More Hikes Signaled
→ Another wave of volatility as markets reprice the path ahead.
🔹 +25 BPS + Neutral Guidance
→ The reaction could depend heavily on yields, DXY and liquidity.
🔹 NO HIKE
→ Markets could interpret it as a less restrictive stance.
But the actual outcome was a 25 bps hike, taking the Fed funds target to 3.75%–4.00%. Even more important: 16 of 18 Fed officials projected at least one additional hike in 2026.
So now the bigger question is no longer “Did the Fed hike?”
It’s:
How long will rates stay restrictive? 👀
