Here is Bitcoin's First Reaction</a>
The FED has hinted that it may start lowering interest rates from mid-September, given the decline in inflation and cooling trends in the labor market.
A new report published on Wednesday provided new evidence that wage growth is slowing, strengthening the argument for a potential rate cut. Low interest rates will reduce borrowing costs for mortgages, credit cards and auto loans, while also supporting growth in the stock market.
After the two-day meeting, the FED issued a statement indicating that inflation was easing and expressed increasing concerns about the weakening employment market. In the statement, it was noted that “inflation has eased over the past year, but remained somewhat high” and it was emphasized that “some further progress” has been made towards reaching the FED's 2% inflation target. These statements marked an upgrade from the June statement, which described inflation as “high” and “modest” progress towards the target.
