COINOTAG News (Dec 10) reports RBC Global Asset Management’s Angele R. C. Sbai, head of US Fixed Income, suggesting the upcoming Fed meeting could yield a rate cut, but robust US momentum may argue against a prolonged easing cycle. The team bases its view on a rate cut with a potentially hawkish tone and a pause on further hikes. Sbai notes that inflation and the labor market data should prompt the Fed to hold steady after multiple cuts and reassess early next year, a stance that could influence crypto markets through liquidity shifts and risk sentiment.

Markets will weigh dissenting votes within the FOMC—those seeking larger cuts versus those arguing no move is warranted. After the expected rate cut, the economy could strengthen toward 2026, reducing the need for further easing. For crypto traders, policy clarity may spur liquidity and risk appetite, but outcomes remain data-driven.
