Fed lies flat on the fifth round: interest rate cut dreams shattered, don't rush to speculate on assets.

Interest rate cuts? Not so fast, Powell said "I see you are not suffering enough."
In the summer of 2025, inflation hasn't completely died down, and the Fed is like the boss who knows how to control the situation best—saying on one hand that it’s a holiday while actually working overtime every week; claiming to observe the economy while their subordinates are all acting on "stay calm and don’t panic." In this meeting, they once again maintained the interest rate range of 5.25%-5.5%, neither lowering nor raising it, leaving the market stunned: "Stable again? How long is this going to last?"
The funny thing is, the bond market has long been expecting a rate cut, and the stock market has acted as if it were a done deal, but the Fed coldly said, "We're not in a hurry," directly dousing expectations with cold water. Not to mention the market, even analysts are left with internal injuries.
But if you think this is bad news, then you are too naive. Interest rates can remain unchanged and still be traded: Is the dollar strong? Strong! Then the capital will flow towards U.S. Treasuries; Is the stock market stable? Unstable! Then stock-picking strategies are important; Is the crypto market cold? Hot! So hot that project parties are coming out to say "Either AI or RWA, anyway it’s related to you."
In summary: The fifth pause is a signal and also a game. The market wants to run, but the Fed holds it down; the market wants to jump, but the Fed shakes its head: wait a moment, let me look at the CPI first. Whoever moves first, exits first. #打榜优质内容#
