You understand how in video video games, you’ll be able to put on out a non-player character’s (NPC’s) listing of preset responses?

The place at a sure level they only begin to repeat themselves?

It feels just like the Federal Reserve is caught on an analogous setting.

The previous thrice they’ve met to debate inflation and set rates of interest (the most recent being yesterday), their response has been:

In response to yesterday’s infinite-loop-of-the-same-statement, the markets have been…uneven.

Inflation got here in decrease than anticipated (a 3.3% yearly improve, as an alternative of three.4%), which rallied the market as anticipated — pushing BTC from $67.7k to $69.9k.

…all earlier than seeing it dump again under $67.7k just a few hours later (after Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press convention), taking the remainder of the market with it.

Lengthy story longer:

As of this writing, we’re just about again to the place we have been on Tuesday.

Simple come, simple go.
