The United States Federal Reserve decided to keep general interest rates unchanged at 4.25% to 4.5% \u2013 a move that was largely expected by the broader market.<\/p>\n

In fact, as\u00a0CryptoPotato\u00a0<\/em>reported<\/a> yesterday, more than 98% of the volume on Polymarket regarding potential rate cuts was betting on \u201cno change.\u201d As a reminder, the odds are are considerably higher for the Fed\u2019s decision during September\u2019s FOMC meeting when 41% of the traders expect the institution to cut rates by 25 basis points.<\/p>\n

The Fed\u2019s decision comes amid mounting political pressure as President Donald Trump continues with his questionable rhetoric calling<\/a> Chairman Jerome Powell \u201cstupid,\u201d earlier today.<\/p>\n

The Fed holds rates steady. No surprises from the FOMC.<\/p>\n

All eyes now on Powell\u2019s speech in 30 minutes for signs of easing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump:
\n\u201cAm I allowed to appoint myself head of the Fed?\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019d do a much better job than Powell.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/Trn9dQI7TL<\/a><\/p>\n
