The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady during its Wednesday meeting, despite inflation remaining above the 2% target for over five years. While policymakers face frustration with stubborn inflation, a rate hike remains possible. This decision could stabilize traditional markets, but crypto markets are bracing for increased volatility and uncertainty. The Federal Reserve continues to evaluate whether to maintain current rates or take action to combat persistent inflationary pressures.
