As the date of the Fed's interest rate decision announcement on July 31 approaches, the financial markets are focused on this. Although the possibility of keeping the interest rate unchanged is as high as 97%, what really draws investors' attention is the future policy direction of the Fed.

Analysts generally believe that although a rate cut is nearly impossible this time, the Fed's 'dot plot' and policy statement will become key indicators for the market to judge the direction of future monetary policy. If the Fed releases a 'hawkish' signal indicating a tendency to reduce future rate cuts, it may trigger a short-term market correction, prompting investors to temporarily turn to safe-haven assets. Conversely, if the Fed hints at a 'dovish' signal suggesting more rate cuts in the future, it is expected to stimulate market sentiment and continue the current bull market trend.

In the face of this critical moment, investors need to closely follow the speech of Fed Chairman Powell, as well as the subsequent policy statement. This information will provide important clues for market participants, helping them assess the outlook for the U.S. economy and the direction of global financial markets. Regardless of the outcome, this interest rate decision will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the prices of various assets, and investors should remain vigilant and adjust their investment strategies at any time.
