<p>On November 14th, Federal Reserve officials, including Neel Kashkari and Loretta Mester, expressed caution about the possibility of another <em>rate cut</em> in December. This follows remarks from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell during October, who stressed that such a cut in December was <em>not a done deal</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Market expectations have shifted</strong> following these comments. The probability of a rate cut in December has increased to 44% from 30% the previous week, according to LSEG data. This shift reflects a broader <em>uncertainty</em> in economic policy amid ongoing inflation concerns. "When the Fed gets cautious, it just means more macro volatility—and that’s a trader’s paradise," remarked <a href="https://twitter.com/RaoulGMI" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Raoul Pal, Founder of Real Vision</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Currency markets responded swiftly</strong>. The US dollar rose as uncertainty surrounding rate cuts intensified. Traders and market participants adjusted their positions based on the <em>Fed's cautious tone</em>. The crypto market, historically sensitive to monetary <strong><a href="https://coincu.com/markets/fed-rate-cuts-crypto-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">policy pivots</a></strong>, is poised for potential fluctuations as well.</p>
