US Fed Meeting LIVE: Treasury yields, bitcoin, stock markets feel pressure ahead of FOMC's rate decision

The US Federal Reserve's two-day FOMC meeting concludes on September 16, with markets pricing in a greater than 90% chance of a 25 basis-point rate hike, the first since 2023. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will announce the decision at 11:30 pm IST, with rates held steady since January 2026 amid energy price shocks and tariff impacts. A hike could push US Treasury yields, already near multi-decade highs, further up, pressure global bonds, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, and investors will closely watch Warsh's commentary on the inflation outlook and future rate path.
