📅 THE BIGGEST MARKET MOVER THIS WEEK 🚨
Today at 2 PM ET, the FOMC announces its rate decision.
While markets expect a pause (no rate hike), the real fireworks will come from Jerome Powell’s tone and the Fed’s forward guidance. 🎤🔥
Why?
📉 The job market remains weak, but inflation is creeping up again — thanks to rising oil prices amid the US-Iran tensions.
📈 US CPI just hit near 2-year highs, and Core CPI is also climbing. That’s a red flag for the Fed.
If oil keeps rising, the Fed may be forced into a hawkish stance — even with a weak labor market. ⚠️
Plus, this could be Powell’s last FOMC as Chair — so his economic outlook for the coming months/years carries extra weight.
🔮 Two possible scenarios:
1️⃣ Powell calls inflation "temporary" → Markets will price in rate cuts & liquidity injections = bullish relief rally. 📈💧
2️⃣ Powell warns inflation stays hot → Expect a dump similar to past hawkish FOMC reactions. 📉💥
Brace yourselves. Volatility is coming.
