The Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5% but still signalled two potential cuts this year, even as they revised forecasts for slower growth and higher inflation.
Markets responded with a rally, with the Dow surging over 400 points, as traders welcomed the Fed’s cautious stance.
Adding to the dovish tone, the Fed announced it will slow the pace of bond reductions, a move that suggests they’re prioritising flexibility amid economic uncertainty—particularly around tariff impacts and stagflation risks.
For short-term traders, this could mean opportunities in oversold sectors or momentum plays, especially if inflation data softens or tariff policies stabilise.
However, keep an eye on economic indicators and Fed commentary for clues on the timing and depth of potential cuts.
What’s your take—will the Fed’s cautious approach fuel a sustained rally, or is this just a temporary boost? 🤔📈
