This Week’s Economic Calendar: 2025 Rate Outlook in Focus

1️⃣ Tuesday (09/12): JOLTS Job Openings

Key labor data the Fed watches closely.

Weaker-than-expected numbers → cooler labor market → more room for monetary easing → bullish for crypto.

2️⃣ Wednesday (10/12) – early Thursday: FOMC Meeting & Powell Press Conference

Final Fed meeting of the year; sets the tone for early 2026.

Markets care less about a simple “hold or cut” and more about the Dot Plot (future rate path) and Powell’s guidance.

3️⃣ Thursday (11/12): OPEC Monthly Report, Initial Jobless Claims, 30Y U.S. Bond Auction

The 30-year auction will impact long-term yields.

Higher yields → money shifts out of risk assets like crypto and equities.

🤔 With the FOMC and Powell front and center on Wednesday, do you expect the market to pump or dump? $BTC $ETH $PAXG
