🌍 UN Passes Historic Declaration on NCDs & Mental Health 🕊️
The United Nations has officially adopted a global declaration to combat non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and improve mental health care worldwide — a major milestone for public health. This initiative aims to strengthen prevention, awareness, and access to treatment for millions affected by chronic and mental health conditions.
💬 The Big Question: Will this declaration lead to real change in how the world treats physical and mental well-being — or remain just words on paper?
🌍 Afghanistan Faces Severe Food Crisis — 17 Million at Risk 🍞
According to the UN World Food Programme, over 17 million people in Afghanistan could face acute hunger this winter — one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent years. Freezing temperatures, limited aid access, and rising food costs have worsened the situation.

🚨 Fed Rate Cut Probabilities — Latest Update (as of mid-December 2025) 💰 The US Federal Reserve has been in easing mode in 2025, delivering three consecutive 25 basis point cuts (September, October, and December), bringing the federal funds rate to a target range of 3.50%–3.75%. Market expectations for further cuts have cooled due to a divided FOMC, sticky inflation around 3%, and mixed labor signals from delayed data. Key Current Probabilities (CME FedWatch Tool & Market Consensus) Recent December 2025 Meeting (Dec 9-10): The Fed delivered a 25 bps cut (to 3.50%-3.75%), but it was a "hawkish cut" with dissents and signals of a likely pause in early 2026. Pre-meeting odds were high (~80-87% for a cut), but post-meeting dot plot showed only one additional 25 bps cut expected in 2026 (median projection), unchanged from prior. January 2026 FOMC Meeting (Jan 27-28): Markets price in ~77% chance of no change (hold steady), ~21% chance of 25 bps cut, and minimal odds of larger moves. Overall 2026 Outlook: Fed dot plot projects gradual easing to ~3.00%-3.25% by end-2027. Markets anticipate 1-2 cuts total in 2026, with higher uncertainty due to divisions (e.g., some officials like Miran pushing for more aggressive cuts). Factors Influencing Probabilities Weak Labor Market: Delayed NFP data (combined Oct-Nov) showed cooling jobs (~50K added, unemployment at 4.5%), boosting cut odds earlier. Inflation Persistence: Sticky at ~3%, making officials cautious. Market Tools: CME FedWatch (futures-implied) and prediction markets (Polymarket/Kalshi) show cautious sentiment — no aggressive easing expected soon. Stay tuned: The delayed November NFP (released Dec 16) could shift odds if it shows further weakness. A softer print might revive January cut bets! ⚠️ Trading Tip: Volatility remains high — focus on risk management and ethical strategies. #FedRates #InterestRates #MarketUpdate #BinanceSquare #EthicalTrading

A weak report increases chances of a rate cut, boosting gold and stocks.

⚠️ Ethical Reminder: Today’s market will be highly volatile. Avoid emotional or leveraged trades. Focus on learning, observing, and managing risk with patience and discipline.
