🇺🇸 FOMC: First Decision by Worsh
Federal Reserve Rate: 3.75%
Expectation: 3.75%
Previous: 3.75%
Main points from the release
⚠️ The Federal Reserve raised the forecast for the end of 2026:
Was: 3.4%
Now: 3.8%
⚠️ The Federal Reserve explicitly stated:
Inflation remains elevated
Inflation risks persist
⚪️
What the market saw
The rate was not increased.
But the release itself was more hawkish than expected.
Reason:
Rate forecast was raised
The Fed does not indicate a quick cut
Inflation remains a problem
⚪️
What this means
The market has been discussing for several months:
Rate cuts
Dovish policy of Worsh
Today, the Fed showed something different:
➡️ The fight against inflation is not over yet.
⚪️
For markets
🟢 Short-term:
The absence of a rate hike relieves some tension
🔴 Medium-term:
Higher rate forecast
Higher bond yields
Stronger dollar
This pressure affects:
BTC
NASDAQ
Risk assets
⚪️
Summary
The main news is not that the rate was held steady.
The main news is that:
The Fed raised its rate forecast for 2026 from 3.4% to 3.8% and acknowledged that inflation remains elevated.
This is one of the most hawkish signals in recent months.
