🏦 The Federal Reserve's July meeting concludes on July 29, putting interest rates and the policy message at the center of the market calendar. The decision can affect the dollar, stocks, gold and major indices, but the first move is not guaranteed: traders also react to the statement, press conference and expectations already priced in.
💹 Higher rates generally make borrowing more expensive and can support a currency, while lower rates can ease financing conditions and help risk assets. Real market reactions are less mechanical. Inflation, growth, guidance and positioning can outweigh the headline rate, so a scheduled decision is a volatility warning rather than a directional signal.
