FOMC RATE DECISION: FED STAYS HAWKISH – PAUSE MODE ACTIVATED After three consecutive rate cuts, the Federal Reserve has hit the brakes and paused. Markets anticipated this earlier, but the statement is concerning: the job market is stabilizing, inflation remains elevated, and economic uncertainty is rising sharply. The Fed doubled down on its 2% inflation target – still far from achieved. No sign of further easing anytime soon. Add Trump’s new tariff threats, a dumping DXY, heavy bond selling, and looming government shutdown risks – uncertainty is exploding. Powell’s presser is next, but the message is clear: the Fed won’t bend to easing demands. Higher for longer continues. Markets on edge. #FedHoldsRates
