Following its 2-day FOMC meeting, the US Federal Reserve has decided to keep interest rates unchanged. The Fed is expected to hold off on cutting rates for the most part of this year following three consecutive rate cuts last year.
Fed Rate Cut: Federal Reserve Keeps Rates Unchanged
In a press release, the Federal Reserve announced that it will keep interest rates steady at the 4.25% to 4.5% range. This decision is in line with expectations, as traders predicted that there was a 99.5% chance the Fed would reach this decision.
This comes despite calls from US President Donald Trump for the Fed to lower rates while reaffirming his commitment to make the US the crypto capital. The Fed’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged is significant for the crypto market, considering how such a move could create a bearish sentiment among investors.
Investors are less likely to invest in risk assets like cryptocurrencies in such situations, especially if the Fed is hawkish. Now, all eyes will be on the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech to determine where the US Central Bank stands regarding its outlook on the economy.
The crypto market could witness a significant rebound if Powell projects a dovish stance from the Fed in his speech. However, the Bitcoin price risks another decline if the Fed Chair projects a hawkish stance.
