According to CoinMeta, analyst Ronald Gestiehr stated that the Federal Reserve's decision today is correct. The U.S. economy still has resilience, but inflation is a major concern, especially against the backdrop of volatile energy prices and ongoing developments in the Middle East. The Federal Reserve faces a difficult balance in deciding whether to continue raising interest rates: it does not want to raise rates too much or too quickly, nor does it want to cause the economy to fall into recession as a result. Raising interest rates will indeed put more pressure on individual consumers, who are already affected by inflation, especially considering the impact on loan interest rates.
