📊 Fed Holds

Good Morning Investors,

The Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady was a crucial factor in yesterday's market movement. While the decision drew praise from many market commentators for its logic, it also faced criticism for its potential stultifying impact on the economy. A recent trade agreement announced by President Trump with South Korea, however, brought some positive news, visibly driving the performance in the secondary indices.

Meanwhile, developments related to tariffs also influenced market sentiments significantly. Concerns are mounting over President Trump's decision to end tariff exemptions for low-value packages, and the potential impact of announced tariffs on copper.
