Jerome Powell

The FED's interest rate decision, which was eagerly awaited by the cryptocurrency market and traditional markets, was announced.

Most economists surveyed by financial data company FactSet thought the Fed would keep its benchmark interest rate steady today and at its next meeting on May 1.

The FED started increasing interest rates in March 2022 as inflation rose during the pandemic, and increased it to the highest level in the last 40 years in June of that year.
