Fed To Hike Into ‘Train Wreck’; How Will Stocks, Bitcoin, Gold, Bonds React? | Gareth Soloway

The Federal Reserve’s upcoming FOMC meeting and its impact on global markets take center stage as inflation remains stubbornly high. With oil prices elevated and diesel costs straining supply chains, the Fed faces pressure to raise interest rates to maintain credibility and curb inflationary trends. While the bond market reflects anticipation of a 25-basis-point hike, rising 10-year Treasury yields signal broader concerns about U.S. debt and sovereign confidence. Despite short-term volatility in stocks, gold, and Bitcoin, technical indicators suggest potential resilience in risk assets, provided key support levels hold. The long-term outlook remains cautious, as persistent government spending and debt accumulation threaten future economic stability. Ultimately, the Fed must balance aggressive monetary tightening against the risk of triggering a deeper recession, navigating a complex environment where fiscal and monetary policies increasingly collide.
