After 6 Quarters of Calling for Rate Cuts, Rate Expectations Are Instead Moving Upwards

In September 2024, the Federal Reserve began its rate-cutting cycle, projecting a median federal funds rate of 3.4% by the end of 2025—implying four additional cuts. However, six quarters later, the March SEP (Summary of Economic Projections) reveals a significant shift: the rate now stands at 3.50%-3.75%, 25 basis points higher than initially expected. The median projection for 2026 has also risen from 2.9% to 3.4%. The Fed’s internal consensus has fractured. Out of 19 FOMC participants, seven now expect no rate cuts in 2026, while seven anticipate only one cut. This 7:7 split reflects a fundamental disagreement over the direction of monetary policy, moving from debates over the magnitude of cuts to whether cuts should occur at all. Persistent inflation is the core issue. The Fed has consistently revised its PCE inflation forecasts upward over the past six quarters, with the 2026 projection now at 2.7%—up 0.6 percentage points from initial estimates. Core PCE, a key indicator of underlying inflation, was revised up sharply to 2.7%, signaling entrenched price pressures. Despite slightly raising its GDP growth forecast to 2.4% and holding unemployment steady at 4.4%, the Fed’s unchanged median rate projection conflicts with its own rising inflation outlook. Market expectations remain more dovish, pricing in around 50 basis points of cuts, but the Fed’s internal division and consistent underestimation of inflation suggest continued uncertainty. The central bank is effectively chasing reality, with no clear consensus on the path ahead.

Crypto markets slide after Fed decision as Powell warns inflation risks persist

Crypto markets declined sharply following the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady, driven by Chair Jerome Powell's cautious tone on inflation. Bitcoin fell over 5%, Ethereum dropped more than 6%, and other major cryptocurrencies like XRP, Solana, and BNB also posted significant losses. Powell emphasized that inflation remains elevated, with PCE at 2.8% and core inflation at 3.0%, both above the Fed’s 2% target. He reinforced a data-dependent approach, indicating rate cuts are not imminent. This strengthened the "higher-for-longer" interest rate narrative, which negatively impacts risk assets like cryptocurrencies. The broad sell-off underscores crypto’s continued sensitivity to macroeconomic signals and U.S. monetary policy expectations. Markets are likely remain volatile and reactive to incoming economic data and geopolitical developments.

Fed holds rates steady at 3.5%–3.75% as projections signal slower path to easing

The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.5%–3.75% on 18 March, signaling that inflation remains too high to justify near-term cuts. Policymakers emphasized that inflation is still above the 2% target despite a solid economy and stable labor market. The Fed's updated economic projections indicate a delayed easing cycle, with PCE inflation expected at 2.7% in 2026 and the federal funds rate around 3.4% the same year. This reinforces a "higher-for-longer" narrative. Geopolitical risks were also noted as a potential source of uncertainty. For crypto markets, the lack of immediate rate cuts may limit liquidity, but the soft-landing narrative remains supportive over the medium term. Markets will now focus on incoming data to gauge the timing of policy easing.

No Rate Cut by the US Fed Likely, Crypto Prices to Move Accordingly

The escalating conflict in the Middle East has reduced the likelihood of a US Federal Reserve rate cut in the upcoming meeting. Rising oil prices, now exceeding $100 per barrel, are fueling inflationary or stagflationary pressures in the US. This could influence cryptocurrency markets, which have recently shown strong weekly gains—Bitcoin and Ethereum rose 6.23% and 13.97%, respectively. In contrast, traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver declined. The Fed aims to maintain steady rates to balance inflation risks and economic stability. Additional factors, such as proposed tariff policies and weakened consumer sentiment, further complicate the economic outlook.

US Dollar Gained Amid Easiness in Oil Prices, Crypto Market Rises

The US Dollar has strengthened, reaching a new 10-month high against a basket of currencies, while oil prices have eased significantly. This decline in oil, partly due to a new export deal between Iraq and Kurdish authorities, is seen as a potential positive for lowering inflation. Meanwhile, the crypto market has risen over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin nearing the $75k mark and Ethereum also posting gains. Analysts suggest the crypto uptick may be a reaction to these broader economic shifts, though its sustainability remains uncertain.

Crypto Bets On Argentina Inflation Stoke Fears Of Insider Trading On Polymarket

Argentinian authorities have ordered a nationwide blockade of the crypto prediction platform Polymarket, enforced by regulators and internet providers, following a court ruling that deemed it an unlicensed gambling operation. The move comes after allegations of insider trading emerged when suspicious betting activity occurred just before the release of official inflation data in February. Argentina follows Colombia as the second Latin American country to ban the platform, reflecting a broader global trend of regulators treating prediction markets as gambling rather than financial tools. This could fragment liquidity and push users into less regulated markets.

Why Did the War Safe-Haven Logic Suddenly Fail? Gold Fell, but Bitcoin Rose

In a surprising turn of events, the conventional "safe haven" logic during wartime appears to have broken down. When the US and Israel launched a military strike against Iran on February 28, gold—traditionally a go-to asset during crises—briefly spiked but then fell by nearly 10% over two weeks, dropping to around $5,020. Meanwhile, Bitcoin surged over 20%, rebounding from $63,000 to above $75,000, outperforming gold, the S&P 500, and Nasdaq. The divergence stems from differing underlying mechanisms. Gold was suppressed by rising inflation expectations triggered by the conflict. Soaring oil prices—due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—led markets to anticipate prolonged high interest rates from the Fed, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. Additionally, central banks potentially reducing gold reserves further weakened its support. Bitcoin’s rally, however, was driven by multiple factors: a technical rebound after a 50% drop from its peak, its 24/7 trading availability (allowing it to absorb panic selling and buying when traditional markets were closed), strong inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs, and its practical portability during conflict—enabling easy cross-border value transfer via memorized seed phrases, unlike physical gold. The episode highlights that gold’s safe-haven status isn’t unconditional—it falters when war-induced inflation keeps rates high. Bitcoin, while not yet a proven safe haven, demonstrated unique structural advantages in a crisis. The outcome challenges simplistic narratives and suggests "hedging risk" now depends on whether one is mitigating immediate dangers or betting on future monetary shifts.

Argentina court orders nationwide block of Polymarket over gambling

An Argentine court has ordered a nationwide block of the crypto-based prediction market platform Polymarket, citing unauthorized gambling operations. The ruling, issued by a Buenos Aires court on March 11, instructed the national communications regulator ENACOM to restrict access to the platform and its variants across the country. The investigation was initiated following a complaint by the Buenos Aires City Lottery (LOTBA), which raised concerns over insufficient identity and age verification, potentially allowing minors to gamble. The court also directed Apple and Google to remove Polymarket’s mobile apps in Argentina. This action follows earlier scrutiny of the platform, particularly regarding its inflation prediction markets, which closely mirrored official data and sparked insider trading concerns. Similar restrictions have been implemented in other countries, including Colombia in Latin America.
