🚨 FOMC RATE DECISION: FED STAYS HAWKISH 🚨
⏸️ After 3 straight rate cuts, the Fed hits pause — and the tone is anything but dovish.
📊 Jobs stabilizing
🔥 Inflation still too high
⚠️ Economic uncertainty rising fast
🎯 The Fed reaffirmed the 2% inflation target — and we’re not there yet.
❌ No signal of near-term easing
📈 “Higher for longer” stays alive
🌪️ Add the macro storm:
🇺🇸 Trump tariff threats
💵 Weak DXY
📉 Heavy bond selling
🏛️ Government shutdown risks
🗣️ Powell’s presser up next, but the message is already loud:
The Fed won’t bend. Markets stay on edge. cg
