Cautious dynamics in the cryptocurrency market are being observed ahead of the FED meeting to be held this week. Against the backdrop of August inflation in the US coming in higher than expected, markets estimate the probability of the FED raising the interest rate by 25 basis points at approximately 86%. At the same time, rising tensions in the Middle East and Brent crude oil exceeding $107 are increasing pressure on risky assets.
