Few days ago the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is of utmost importance as the Federal Reserve faces a challenging decision. They have two options – to hike interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the total to 5.00%, or to pause and risk hyperinflation.

While technical analysis predicts a significant market pullback with the possibility of reaching new lows this year, other factors such as fundamental and economic analysis need to be taken into consideration. The Federal Reserve may feel obligated to print money to bail out banks amidst the ongoing banking crisis, but this action would lead to hyperinflation, prolonging the pain for every investor for years to come.

It is in the best interest of the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and maintain a tight monetary policy, even if it means encountering challenges in the short term. It is better to confront the consequences of a crash now and rebuild the economy stronger in the long run than to delay and create catastrophic mistakes that could have global effects.

The decision by the Federal Reserve will have a significant impact on the economy’s future. Therefore, they must take a measured and thoughtful approach, considering all potential outcomes before making a decision that will affect many people’s lives.
