The Federal Reserve made a bold decision in its interest rate decision early this morning, cutting interest rates by two yards in one go and lowering the target range to 4.75% to 5.0%, marking the first interest rate cut in over four years. Chairman Powell emphasized at the press conference after the meeting that the US economy is in good condition and there are currently no signs of recession. Cutting interest rates by two digits is a "recalibration" of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, so there is no guarantee that the same level of interest rate cut will be made at the next meeting. Investors should not expect the Fed to continue to cut interest rates at this level.
During the press conference, gold surged to a historic high of $2600 before falling back. At the same time, both the S&P and Dow Jones quickly fell after hitting historic highs during trading, while the Nasdaq index also closed down. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market seems to be relatively strong, with Bitcoin accelerating its rise after the US stock market closed and still hovering around the $62000 level at the time of writing this article.
