The week of December 9 to 12, 2025, will be dominated by crucial monetary policy decisions in the United States and Brazil, with global and local markets waiting for definitions on interest rates.

United States: Focus on the Fed Decision

The main event of the week is the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve (Fed), which takes place on December 9 and 10, with the announcement of the decision and the press conference by Jerome Powell on Wednesday.

Expectation of Cut: The market expects a third consecutive cut in the basic interest rate (Federal Funds Rate) by 0.25 percentage points, bringing the current range from 3.75%-4.0% to 3.50%-3.75% per year.

Internal Division: The decision is considered difficult, as there is a significant division among FOMC members. Some advocate for maintaining the rate due to inflation still above the target of 2%, while others point to the need for stimulus due to the slowdown in the labor market.

Future Projections: Besides the rate, the market will be attentive to the statement and the economic projections (the so-called "dot plot"), looking for signs about the pace of cuts for 2026. $BTC $BTTC $FARTCOIN
