The Federal Reserve has officially cut interest rates by 0.25%, bringing them down to 3.75%โ€“4.00%.

But hereโ€™s the twist โ€” markets didnโ€™t explode higher. Why?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted there might not be another cut in December, keeping traders cautious.

Market Snapshot:

๐Ÿ“‰ U.S. Stocks โ€” Slight decline

๐Ÿ“ˆ Bond Yields โ€” Ticked higher

๐Ÿ’ต U.S. Dollar โ€” Still strong around 99.60

๐Ÿฅ‡ Gold โ€” Up nearly 4% this month as investors hunt for safety

Meanwhile, the Fed also announced it will stop reducing its balance sheet on December 1, effectively adding liquidity back into markets โ€” a bullish sign for risk assets.

โš ๏ธ Quick Take:

The Dollar remains strong, but with its RSI at 71, a short-term pullback looks likely.

Expect volatility during upcoming Fed speeches.
