Federal Reserve Cuts Rates, Ending Quantitative Tightening – Impact on Markets

The Federal Reserve has just implemented a 25-basis-point rate cut, ending the quantitative tightening phase that aimed to stabilize markets. This move signals a focus on maintaining liquidity amidst global market uncertainty. Increased liquidity could benefit risk assets, potentially boosting cryptocurrency prices. However, gold experienced a significant dip, losing over 5% on Monday after reaching a record high due to ongoing market volatility and trade tensions.
