The post Tesla stock hit with Wall Street downgrade; What’s next for TSLA? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is facing renewed pressure after Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas lowered his rating on the stock, shifting it from ‘Overweight’ to ‘Equal-weight’.  Despite trimming his stance, Jonas raised his price target from $410 to $425, reflecting updated valuation models and long-term optionality tied to emerging business lines. The shift comes as Tesla trades at $455, with pre-market action pushing the stock down 1.74% to $447.86.  TSLA one-week stock price chart.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction.

Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…

Arizona Senator Proposes Exempting Bitcoin and Crypto from Taxes

Understanding the specific tax exemption proposal's scope, mechanics, and limitations provides foundation for evaluating feasibility and implications. The exemption presumably covers capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency appreciation at state level, though personal income tax and corporate tax treatment requires clarification. Scope questions include whether exemption applies to trading profits, mining income, staking rewards, DeFi yields, NFT sales, and business cryptocurrency revenue.
