THELOGICALINDIAN - Hi Everyone
As was broadly anticipated, the US Federal Reserve did end up acid their absorption amount by 0.25% yesterday. However, because the move was so anticipated the banal markets absolutely had an adverse reaction.
Usually, back the Fed cuts rates, stocks go up because it agency that added money is accessible for companies to borrow, which tends to construe into college profits. However, the banal markets accept been ascent in apprehension of this move for the aftermost few weeks and it seems by the time the advertisement came, it was already priced in.
What was added important for the markets was the anticipation that the Fed gave for the approaching area they did abruptness investors a bit.
Let’s booty a attending beneath at what they said and how the assorted markets reacted.

Please note: All data, abstracts & graphs are accurate as of August 1st. All trading carries risk. Only accident basic you can allow to lose.
What I aggregate from yesterday’s Fed presser.was that the Fed didn’t absolutely appetite to cut ante but rather they acquainted affected to do it by the markets. Though they say that burden from the President didn’t appear up in their conversation, it charge accept had some akin of access on their decision.
Here we can see the Dow Jones, which had a balmy acknowledgment to the cut itself (purple circle), but what confused it abundant added was Chairman Powell’s speech 30 account after (blue square).
In short, the Fed fabricated it bright that it wasn’t activity abounding affable in abutment of the markets but was rather authoritative a baby acclimation in adjustment to abutment the expansion. Kind of like back your awe-inspiring aunt does a aberrant ritual to area off angry spirits.
Those who were assured a 0.5% cut or the affiance of added cuts were hardly disappointed. Though Powell was abiding to leave the aperture accessible for added cuts bottomward the road, he additionally larboard the aperture accessible for the achievability of added hikes should the abridgement abound stronger.
This morning stocks are bottomward beyond the apple on the allowance cut hangover. Cue the music!
Most notable of advance was the acknowledgment from the US Dollar, which appealing abundant cool out a additional afore the cut happened but again bound recovered and connected to acceleration until the Fed avenue date right.
Overall, it seems we did get a added advancing accent from the ECB aftermost anniversary and the Fed was absolutely added advancing than expected. I accept afterwards the acutely dovish about-face all-around axial banks accept taken over the aftermost few months, it makes faculty that they’ll charge to bind their accent a bit.
If you’ve been account my updates, you apparently already apperceive that one breadth that absolutely excites me is the way that crypto interacts with acceptable markets. So yesterday’s Fed accident gave us a absolutely different window into that relationship.
Here you can see the account I did with BlockTV a few hours afore the announcement. I charge say that alike admitting it’s not absolutely what I said, the banderole they gave the video fabricated me decidedly proud.
What I did say is that accustomed the affiliation that crypto influencers accept been authoritative amid bread-and-butter bang and crypto lately, we will apparently see a abundant swifter acknowledgment in bitcoin’s amount than we usually do.
So, actuality we can see that bitcoin did accept a nice countdown the absolute morning advanced of the Fed. At the exact time of the cut, there was a notable footfall down, which was absolutely in band with what happened in the banal market.
In a reactionary tweetstorm, accepted economist Alex Kruger claims that the movement in bitcoin is not acceptable to draw a connection. Tom Lee from Fundstrat however, noted the Dollar backbone and how bitcoin stood its arena in animosity of that.
Litecoin architect Charlie Lee took it an absolutely different direction though…
This morning, crypto volumes are on the up with Messari’s absolute 10 account abutting to $1 billion over the aftermost 24 hours and bitcoin testing $10,000 already again.
Let’s accept an alarming day!!
