Powell Delivers a Mixed Message โ Liquidity Boost Now, No Rate Cuts Later
The Fedโs meeting came with two big signals:
1๏ธโฃ No Meaningful Rate Cuts in 2026
The latest dot plot shows only one expected cut in 2026 โ far below market hopes. This basically tells investors: Donโt expect easing anytime soon.
Itโs a tough stance and keeps pressure on long-term risk assets.
2๏ธโฃ But a Surprise Liquidity Injection
The Fed will inject $40B this month through short-term Treasury purchases.
They insist itโs not QE, just a temporary fix for overnight market stress โ but still, fresh liquidity is fresh liquidity.
๐ Overall Take
The Fed gave the market a โno rate cutsโ shock, then softened the blow with extra liquidity. Thatโs why crypto and stocks bounced.
My opinion: This reaction may be temporary. Liquidity helps in the short term, but without real rate cuts ahead, the upside momentum could fade quickly. Markets might become choppy again once the initial excitement cools down.
Better to stay cautious and avoid assuming this pump will last.
