Fed to Maintain Stance Amidst Inflation Surge, Crypto Markets Steady

This trend may influence the Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate decisions, impacting market volatility and potentially affecting cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. While inflation presents challenges, the Fed’s focus remains on the job market, suggesting a delay in drastic policy adjustments.
