🏛️ Breaking News :FED MEETING TODAY — THIS ISN’T ABOUT RATES. IT’S ABOUT POWER. ⚔️
The FOMC decision drops TODAY (Jan 28).
Markets already know the outcome:
👉 97% probability: RATES HOLD (3.50%–3.75%)
If you’re trading the rate decision… you’re late.
💥 The real move starts at 2:30 PM ET when Powell speaks.
🔥 THE 3 BATTLES THAT WILL MOVE MARKETS
1️⃣ FED INDEPENDENCE UNDER ATTACK
Powell isn’t just fighting inflation — he’s fighting politics.
• DOJ criminal investigation
• Supreme Court pressure
• Open threats to Fed autonomy
Any sign Powell bends?
📉 Market confidence cracks.
2️⃣ THE SUCCESSION GAME
Powell is a lame duck.
Trump’s replacement rumors are heating up:
• Rick Rieder (BlackRock)
• Kevin Warsh
All viewed as more dovish.
📊 Markets are already pricing a future where POLITICS > POLICY.
3️⃣ THE ECONOMIC TRAP
• Inflation: ~2.7–2.8% (still sticky)
• Jobs: cooling
One tool. Two problems.
⏳ First cut? Not expected before June 2026.
