The Federal Reserve remains cautious about cutting interest rates as global economic uncertainty persists. Tariff-induced volatility and recession fears have forced the Fed to maintain its current stance, resisting political pressure while managing market stability.

Recent U.S. economic data showed a slight GDP contraction of -0.2%, worse than the anticipated -0.3%, while jobless claims ROSE to 240,000, exceeding forecasts. A tentative U.S.-China agreement has temporarily boosted consumer confidence, but long-term inflation expectations remain fragile.

Cryptocurrency markets continue to react to macroeconomic signals, with traders monitoring Fed policy for directional cues. Bitcoin and ethereum remain key benchmarks, though altcoins face heightened volatility amid shifting risk appetites.
