🚨 Powell in Focus — Global Markets Hold Their Breath
Once again, Jerome Powell takes center stage. Today’s U.S. Fed interest rate decision will set the tone for every market on the planet. 🌍
I’ve mostly ignored this “slug” before 😅 — but not today. The “leak” of a possible end to QT (quantitative tightening) among major banks changes everything.
A 0.25% rate cut seems likely, especially with the Trump-era government shutdown threat and a slowing economy. Powell might not admit it, but the real inflation target has quietly risen.
💡 Market snapshot:
•
$BTC pulling back — no surprise.
• Altcoins following.
• Corporate bond yields: 3.5-year lows.
• Mortgage rates: 3-year lows.
• Oil: 4.5-year lows.
All signs point toward monetary easing ahead. Election-year spending, stimulus programs, and deficit growth are all lining up for another liquidity wave.
As long as there’s no fresh geopolitical conflict, fear should fade and risk assets will start shining again.
🕒 Powell speaks in 2h 30m. Data drops in 2h.
⚠️ Reduce leverage. Wait for real moves. Stay sharp.
