Jerome Powell’s Rate Cut Hint Could Impact Bitcoin Market
Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair, recently hinted at a potential interest rate cut in September, which could shake up the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin , currently priced at $63,051.88, has dropped about 6.6% over the past month.
Powell’s comments, made at a Jackson Hole symposium, suggest the Fed is shifting focus from inflation concerns to job market risks. The current Fed Funds Rate is at 5.5%, up from 0.25% in early 2020, reflecting a steady increase over the past few years.
The U.S. unemployment rate has risen to 4.3% from a low of 3.4% earlier this year, signaling growing economic concerns.
