Fed Decision: Forecasts and Market Expectations

Today, the U.S. Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates. Analysts from top investment firms largely agree that the regulator is leaning toward easing:

BlackRock – expect 2–3 rate cuts in 2025.

JPMorgan – forecast gradual policy easing following the September decision.

Morgan Stanley – see the probability of a cut as moderate, around 50/50.

The crypto market has already priced in part of these expectations: $BTC is climbing, while gold and stock indices are also on the rise. The key question remains – will Jerome Powell confirm these expectations, and what signals will he send to investors?
