Good day Binance people.

Yesterday 28-01-2026, the FED directive was finally announced. Below is part of what was discussed.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) keeps interest rates unchanged in the United States between 3.5% and 3.75%. This is the decision of the entity led by Jerome Powell, this Wednesday, after its first meeting of 2026, with 10 votes in favor of keeping them as they are, against two votes suggesting a reduction of interest rates by a quarter point.

In this way, the Fed has chosen not to be influenced by the pressure from President Donald Trump, who, from the White House, urges to reduce the cost of bank loans.

The good performance of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the third quarter of 2025 in the U.S. and the good prospects for the last three months of that same year seem to provide some cushion for the Fed to maintain prudence and not change interest rates this time after the last three reductions.

*The pulse between Trump and Powell.*

Jerome Powell has become the usual focus of attacks and disqualifications from Donald Trump for not yielding to his demands to lower interest rates. Recently, he threatened to dismiss him because, according to the president, the bank has not lowered interest rates quickly enough.

Trump, precisely, repeated this Wednesday 26-01-2026, before the media, that he wants to "see the rates go down" while it is expected that he will soon announce the successor to Jerome Powell, whose term at the head of the Fed expires in May.

It seems that there are no conditions to improve or raise the rates, which are direct indicators of economic improvement for the country.

Meanwhile, in the crypto world, the weakness of the dollar acts as a covert monetary easing. As monetary policy weakens, the crypto sphere revives. Bitcoin, in particular, regains its role as a free asset: it trades around 88,000 dollars, a symbol of renewed confidence.
