When the Fed pivots (and they will), you want to already own the exit. • - **Fed Holds Rates Steady at 3.5%-3.75% in January 2026 Meeting, Pausing Easing Cycle**: The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate unchanged as expected, after three cuts in 2025; two governors dissented for a 25bps cut, citing solid growth but elevated inflation and stabilizing unemployment—Chair Powell called current rates appropriate.[1][2][7] - **Limited Rate Cuts Forecast for 2026 Amid Inflation and Labor Market Watch**: Analysts expect modest relief, with rates potentially dropping to 3%-3.25% later in the year via one or two 25bps cuts, depending on data; Powell's term expiration in May adds uncertainty.[3][4] - **Mortgage Rates Stable Below 6% as of February 5, 2026**: 30-year mortgage rates at 6.00% and 15-year at 5.37%, with refinances slightly higher; seen as competitive, potentially falling further if Fed cuts resume.[5] → Central bank policy directly impacts bitcoin's value proposition. Higher rates = short-term headwinds, but inflation above target = long-term tailwinds. DCA through the noise. • - **US Imposes New Sanctions on Iranian Oil Network Amid Oman Nuclear Talks**: The State Department announced sanctions on February 6 targeting two individuals, 15 entities, and 14 "shadow fleet" vessels involved in illicit Iranian oil trade, coinciding with US-Iran negotiations in Muscat, Oman, on the same day—described by Iran's foreign minister as off to a "good start." U.S. officials emphasized continued "maximum pressure" alongside diplomacy, with attendees including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.[1][4][5] - **US-Iran Hold First Direct Talks Since June 2025 Israel-Iran War**: Negotiations in Oman on February 6 mark the first since Israel's attack on Iran, focusing on nuclear issues amid escalating tensions, a recent Gulf drone incident, EU snapback sanctions, Iranian unrest, and U.S. military buildup; talks proceeded despite a brief cancellation on February 4.[2][3] - **Timeline Highlights Surging Tensions Leading to Diplomacy**: Recent events include a 12-day Iran-Israel war in June 2025, EU snapback sanctions in September, IAEA disputes in November, Iranian protests in December, Trump's January calls for uprising and military deployments, and a February 3 drone shootdown—setting stage for Friday's Oman talks aimed at de-escalation.[2] → War is inflationary.

Real rates still negative. Stack accordingly. • - **Fed Holds Rates Steady at 3.5%-3.75% in January 2026 Meeting**: The Federal Reserve paused its easing cycle after three prior rate cuts, keeping the federal funds rate unchanged as expected; Governors Miran and Waller dissented for a 25bps cut, signaling potential internal debate on future policy.[1] - **Mortgage Rates Edge Higher Today Amid Treasury Yield Rise**: 30-year fixed rates climbed to around 6.11%-6.23% (up from last week), driven by 10-year Treasury yields hitting 4.227% and ahead of Fed Vice Chair Jefferson's speech on inflation outlook; next FOMC meeting is March 17-18 with no cuts anticipated soon.[2][3] - **Fed Upgrades Economic Outlook to 'Solid' Post-Hold**: After January decision, the Fed noted a stronger economy and persistent inflation, reducing urgency for adjustments while ending quantitative tightening in December 2025, influencing broader rate environment.[3] → The signal persists through the noise. Stay focused on fundamentals. • • **US imposes new sanctions on Iranian oil network amid nuclear talks in Oman** The State Department announced sanctions targeting 15 entities, 2 individuals, and 14 shadow fleet vessels involved in illicit Iranian oil transport.[4][5] The move comes as U.S. and Iranian officials simultaneously conduct negotiations in Muscat, mediated by Oman, to ease tensions over Tehran's nuclear program. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reported the talks were off to a "good start," with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner attending.[1] This marks the first direct negotiations between the two countries since Israel's attack on Iran last June. • **White House maintains "maximum pressure" strategy while pursuing diplomacy** The Trump administration continues its dual approach of economic sanctions and military posturing alongside diplomatic engagement. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned that the president retains "many options at his disposal, aside from diplomacy," emphasizing U.S. military superiority.[1] The sanctions target networks previously used by Iranian oil tycoon Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani to move Iranian and Russian cargo. • **Iran's Strait of Hormuz closure threat faces significant economic constraints** While hardline Iranian lawmakers have revived calls to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, economic analysis suggests such action would harm Iran's allies more than Western adversaries. Nearly 95% of Iran's 2025 crude exports transited Hormuz to China, meaning closure would directly threaten Beijing's energy security rather than pressure the U.S. or Europe.[2] This economic reality helps explain why Iran has threatened strait closure for over two decades without implementation. → Regulation targets custodians, not the protocol.
