Fed Decision = More Wait-and-See. What That Means for You.
No Cuts, No Clues—Why the Fed’s Silence Speaks Volumes for Your Money Moves

Just like we expected—the Fed did nothing. No rate cut, no hike, just a whole lot of “we’re gonna wait and see.” Fed Chair Powell said it best: “There is so much we don't know, we are in a good position to wait and see.”
Translation: the markets didn’t move, we didn’t get any clarity, and everyone’s still sitting on their hands.
Here’s the breakdown:
Inflation expectations are ticking up—people are nervous, and tariffs are a big reason why.
Powell made it clear: rate cuts aren’t coming anytime soon. He’s not in a rush. Period.
That means interest rates stay high for longer. Good for savers, not so great for borrowers.
With tariffs driving inflation concerns, markets (including crypto and equities) aren’t getting the green light to rally.
Until we get a clear signal from the Fed, it’s more chop and less clarity across the board.
So what should you do? Stay steady. This isn’t the time to chase returns or panic over headlines. It’s a time to be positioned right, stay diversified, and be intentional with your cash flow.
We’re watching the data, and we’ll pivot when it makes sense. But for now—no move is the move.
