Impact of Fed Meeting
The Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet in 15 days, possibly in late January. This meeting is all about deciding the direction of the central bank’s monetary policy. The CME FedWatch tool projects a 97.4% chance that the Fed’s funds rate will remain below its current target range of 5.25% to 5.50%.
“This potential reduction is viewed as a measure to support the economy, especially if inflation continues to be consistent with the Fed’s stability objectives. However, the timing and scale of interest rate cuts are very important. Early or excessive cuts could hasten inflation, while delayed or minimal cuts could hinder economic growth.”
One of the known Betfinix analysts predicted that the possibility of interest rate disruption in January could lead to a rise in Bitcoin prices.
