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: \u2014 CryptoPotato Official (@Crypto_Potato) June 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n \u201cSo, we have a stupid person. Frankly, you probably won\u2019t cut today. [\u2026] Europe had 10 cuts and we had none. And I guess he\u2019s a political guy, I don\u2019t know.
