Markets widely expect policymakers to keep rates unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75%, as crypto traders watch inflation, growth, and borrowing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Warsh took office as Fed chair in May, and the June meeting will give markets their first full look at his approach. MarketWatch said economists remain unsure whether he will lean toward rate cuts or take a firmer line on inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/markets\/will-the-real-kevin-warsh-please-stand-up-ahead-of-his-first-fed-meeting-economists-honestly-don-t-know-what-to-expect\/ar-AA25D1Is\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">told<\/a> MarketWatch that \u201cit all puts Warsh in a difficult position.\u201d He said Warsh had backed rate cuts while seeking the role, but higher prices now make that path harder.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iran deal lifts risk mood<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Crypto markets reacted to the latest U.S.-Iran peace deal claims. President Donald Trump <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116750587569914985\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">wrote<\/a> on Truth Social that \u201cThe Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!\u201d He also said he had authorized the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of the U.S. naval blockade.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement eased energy pressure. Oil prices fell, while stock futures rose. Lower oil prices can reduce inflation fears, helping risk assets such as Bitcoin, ether, and major altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>crypto.news reported Monday that Bitcoin climbed above $65,500 after the U.S.-Iran deal lifted markets. The report said BTC traded near its highest level in almost two weeks as traders priced in lower oil stress and a better global market mood.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin rebound still faces tests<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The recovery follows a volatile period for digital assets. crypto.news earlier reported that traders had positioned themselves for a Fed pause, with CME FedWatch data showing a probability near 98% that rates would stay unchanged at the June 16-17 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin still faces resistance near $68,000, according to crypto.news market coverage. Ether traded near $1,700, while XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Hyperliquid also moved higher during the relief rally.<\/p>\n<p>The next test will come from the Fed statement, the dot plot, and Warsh\u2019s press conference. If the Fed signals higher rates for longer, crypto gains may slow. If inflation fears ease, traders may extend the rebound.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto traders enter June 15 with U.S. data releases and a Federal Reserve decision in focus.\u00a0 Summary Bitcoin climbed above $65,500 as U.S.-Iran deal eased oil and inflation concerns.
