分析：BTC走低或因美联储主席鲍威尔表示“不急于降息”

Odaily Odaily News Cointelegraph published an analysis on the X platform, saying that the decline of BTC today may be due to the fact that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said that he was &quot;not in a hurry to cut interest rates&quot;. It is reported that Powell said in a speech in Dallas, Texas that &quot;the economy has not sent any signals that we need to cut interest rates in a hurry.&quot; The Federal Reserve previously cut interest rates twice in September and November, with a cut of 50 basis points and 25 basis points respectively. The next interest rate decision of the Federal Reserve will be announced on December 18. Powell added that &quot;the strong economy we are seeing now allows us to make decisions carefully. Ultimately, the direction of the policy interest rate will depend on how the upcoming data and economic outlook develop.&quot; The market shows that after Powell&#39;s speech, the price of Bitcoin fell by about 2.79% to $86,979, but has since recovered slightly.

Analysis: BTC may fall because Fed Chairman Powell said he is "not in a hurry to cut interest rates"

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Powell will deliver a speech this Friday to discuss interest rates and economic issues. Investors and economists will closely watch for his clues about the Fed's December interest rate decision and the policy outlook for 2025. In his recent remarks, Powell emphasized the Fed's dual mandate - the balanced risk of stabilizing inflation and supporting maximum employment. He described the Fed's path of rate cuts as the "normalization" of policy. The interest rate futures market pricing on Wednesday suggests that the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's December 17-18 meeting exceeds 80%, while the probability of no rate cut is greater. The policymakers' update to their quarterly economic forecast summary in September showed a median forecast of a 1-percentage-point rate cut in 2024, followed by a 1-percentage-point rate cut in 2025. Officials will update the so-called "dot plot" at the December meeting, giving them an opportunity to signal the policy path for 2025 and beyond. (Gold Ten)

Investors are watching for clues about the Fed's December interest rate decision and next year's policy outlook in Powell's speech on Friday.

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Federal Reserve's Lael Brainard stated that the Federal Reserve will "most likely" need to cut rates further, but should "act with caution". If the Federal Reserve cuts rates excessively, beyond the neutral level, inflation may reaccelerate. The Federal Reserve has made "significant progress" in lowering inflation and restoring economic balance, and it is difficult to determine how many rate cuts are needed and how quickly they should be implemented. (Note: Brainard's remarks on Wednesday were prepared before the release of the October CPI data. (Gold Ten))

Fed's Logan: Fed likely needs to cut rates further but should proceed with caution

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said that interest rates are expected to continue to decline, but he hinted that interest rates may not decline as much in the next few months. Powell said the Federal Reserve may make further rate cuts, as the economic trends and dynamics are expected to remain unchanged at least in the short term. This includes a slowdown in the job market and a cooling of inflation, while interest rates are still at a restrictive level, and maintaining interest rates at the current high level may push up the unemployment rate. Powell said, "Over time, we will shift policy towards a more neutral level."
