POSITIVE IMPACT
The FOMC's decision to keep interest rates unchanged at 5.50% may lead to a neutral to positive short-term impact on SPY, as market uncertainty regarding rate changes is alleviated.
The FOMC's decision to maintain the current interest rate often signals confidence in the current economic conditions, which can have a stabilizing effect on the markets. As SPY is a broad market ETF, it is likely to reflect this sentiment. However, since the decision was to maintain the rate, rather than change it, the impact may be more muted as the decision was anticipated and may already be priced in.
