\nBitcoin Price Wobbles Before Settling After Fed Raises Rates\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price swung before settling largely unmoved over a 24-hour period after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates \u2014 as expected \u2014 for the first time since 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The leading cryptocurrency was recently priced<\/a> at nearly $75,813 after dropping as low as $75,355 in the hour after the U.S. central bank gave its decision to increase the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over a seven-day period, the coin is down nearly 4%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Traders had bet there was a more than 90% chance that the Fed would raise interest rates ahead of its September meeting. Major Bitcoin trades therefore likely happened before Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh didn\u2019t reveal much about the central bank\u2019s next moves but made it clear that price stability in the U.S. was its number one priority.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision we made today was a sober decision, serious decision, responsible decision, one that we have been preparing for and thinking about in my 110 or 120 days here,\u201d Warsh said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe plain fact is that inflation is too high, and has been for too long. This summer\u2019s inflation readings do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wash \u2014 who has previously praised Bitcoin \u2014 said<\/a> last month in his first major speech as head of the U.S. central bank that inflation was too high and had to be brought down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new chair is seemingly going against President Donald Trump\u2019s wishes; the president has repeatedly called for lower interest rates and even threatened to fire the ex-Chair of the Federal Reserve for refusing to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a post on his Truth Social platform last week, the president wrote<\/a>: \u201cWe should have the LOWEST RATE of any country in the World, like \u2018the old days.’\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by reporters about what he would say to the president, Wash replied: \u201cI\u2019ve got nothing for you on a discussion with the president.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin typically does well in a low interest rate environment because there is more liquidity to buy the asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. is currently in the midst of an affordability crisis and war in the Middle East has pushed up the price of oil, in turn compounding the problem as the cost of everyday goods in the world\u2019s largest economy rises.<\/p>\n
