📕 Minutes from the last meeting #FED:

▫️ Nine chairmen voted for a 25 basis point rate cut, with three against (two for a pause, one for a -50 basis point cut)

❗️ The balance sheet reduction (#QT) has been completed. The Fed is starting reverse repo (purchasing US government bonds) to maintain sufficient reserves in the system.

▫️ The expected volume of bond purchases is around $220 billion over the first 12 months. Purchases will mainly be in short-term Treasury securities (bills).

▫️ The $500 billion limit on permanent repo operations has been removed.

▫️ Inflation has risen since the beginning of the year and remains elevated. The main reason for the increase is tariffs.

▫️ The labor market continues to cool: unemployment has reached 4.4%, and hiring rates have slowed down.

▫️ Most Fed chairmen supported the rate cut due to increasing risks in the labor market, although some expressed concern about the lack of progress on inflation.

❗️ Further rate cuts are likely if inflation declines as expected. However, some chairmen suggested taking a PAUSE after this cut.

▫️ Market expectations: another two rate cuts in 2026 (according to surveys).

▫️ The economy is growing at a moderate pace. GDP is slowing compared to 2024, but remains positive.

▫️ Some participants noted that technological progress and productivity growth (possibly related to AI) could support economic growth without inflationary pressure.

▫️ The Fed's decisions will depend on incoming macroeconomic data, the evolution of economic prospects, and the balance of risks.

2026 could be an incredible year for IPOs

🚨🚨BRICS GROUP LAUNCHES GOLD-BACKED UNIT PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨🚨

Russia & China Are Attempting to Issue a TERMINAL BLOW to the USD as Global Reserve Currency Using #GOLD:

⚡️The #BRICS have launched a pilot project for a new settlement instrument called "The Unit," which is backed by a blend of ⚡️40% PHYSICAL GOLD ⚡️ & 60% BRICS national currencies.

Pegged to GOLD: Each Unit is currently pegged to a value equivalent to 1 gram of gold, however its daily value fluctuates based on the exchange rate of its constituent currencies against gold.

Structure: "The Unit" is a mixed-backed exchange unit administered by the International Reserve and Investment Asset System (#IRIAS).

Digital Reserve Currency: The system is designed as a digital platform utilizing transparent #blockchain technology.

The Unit was just launched as only a pilot program initially, with only 100 units issued.

While the full global rollout is yet to be announced, the US #Dollar has been officially put on notice.

Russia and China are officially coming after the USD's role as global reserve currency, and their weapon of choice to SLAUGHTER the globalists is none other than GOLD.

Translation: The US Dollar is COOKED!!
