Ahead of the Fed decision: four asset classes are being repriced
90% probability of a 25bp hike · decision at 02:00 Beijing time on Thursday · Worsha press conference at 02:30

💱 FX: where volatility is concentrating on decision night
A rate hike lifts the short end of the dollar curve — EURUSD usually weakens, while USDJPY moves higher in line with yields. The moment the decision is released is the most active window in the FX market

📉 Stocks: growth stocks are most sensitive to rates
A higher discount rate first hits stocks with the longest duration — technology companies and AI chipmakers. Wider net interest margins support banks. Energy moves with oil: gasoline rose 3.9% in one month in the August CPI — inflation is still largely driven by energy
Stocks to watch: Nvidia (NVDA) · Tesla (TSLA) · Micron (MU) · JPMorgan (JPM)

🛢 CFD: gold, oil, and indices are moving in different directions
XAUUSD — higher real rates limit gold's upside, while inflation and safe-haven demand exert opposite pressure. XBRUSD / XTIUSD — a rate hike weighs on demand expectations, while supply disruption risks remain, and the oil price has already exceeded 100. NAS100 / US500 — their significant share of growth stocks makes them the most sensitive to rates. HK50 tracks offshore liquidity
Instruments: XAUUSD · XBRUSD · XTIUSD · NAS100 · US500 · HK50

₿ Cryptocurrencies: tighter liquidity conditions create a headwind
Tighter dollar liquidity combined with higher real rates usually weighs on high-beta risk assets. If the dot plot hints at a second hike this year, downside pressure will intensify
Assets: BTC · ETH · GT

💡 The hike itself is already priced in with a 90% probability — real volatility will depend on the dot plot and the tone of the press conference. A hint at another move this year will force everything to be repriced toward a “higher for longer” scenario; an unexpected hold will reverse everything in the opposite direction.

💱 FX: where decision-night volatility concentrates
A hike lifts the short end of the dollar curve — EURUSD usually softens and USDJPY tracks yields higher. The moment the print lands is the busiest window in FX

📉 Stocks: growth is the most rate-sensitive
A higher discount rate hits the longest-duration names first — tech and AI chips. Wider net interest margins support banks. Energy follows oil, with gasoline up 3.9% in a single month in the August CPI — inflation is still an energy story

🛢 CFDs: gold, crude and indices pull three ways
XAUUSD — higher real rates cap gold while inflation and safe-haven demand push back. XBRUSD / XTIUSD — a hike weighs on demand expectations while supply risks persist, with crude already above 100. NAS100 / US500 — heavy growth weight makes them the most rate-sensitive. HK50 tracks offshore liquidity
Instruments: XAUUSD · XBRUSD · XTIUSD · NAS100 · US500 · HK50

₿ Crypto: tighter liquidity is a headwind
Tighter dollar liquidity plus higher real rates usually pressure high-beta risk assets. If the dot plot hints at a second hike this year, downside pressure builds
Assets: BTC · ETH · GT

💡 The hike itself is 90% priced — the real volatility is the dot plot and the presser tone. Hint at another move this year and everything re-ranks for "higher for longer"; a surprise hold flips it all in reverse.
