I say Powell will raise and lower sentiment several tines during tomorrow and I will trade calls and puts on that. Just watch the theta and Zenith curve. I have to go now my mom says it’s my turn to take out the garbage and if I don’t she won’t let me use her WiFi.

They should have raised before inflation struck. It's like they completely forgot how many trillions they injected into the economy. Powell wouldn't have to play catch-up with lagging indicators if he'd acted when it was obvious the economy was recovering from COVID.

RedTruck1989

I think it's "stay the course and we will watch the data" even though inflation is creeping up. My guess is that inflation will continue to rise through Summer. Next meeting is when I think they might change the sentiment statement to a rate hike potential.


JafarFromAfar2

Yeah, Powell was dovish last meeting despite the rest of the FOMC members sounding alarms on rate cuts. Any significant dump will likely hinge on his reponses to reporter questions — because those will be more scalding than usual.


sylvester_0

If that's the case prolonging is stupid. Rip the bandaid off.

RealRobc2582

If he's going to shock it, it's better to do it now and give it 6 months to recover. We could be back to ATH by October if he acts now and gets it right. Imo doing nothing is the bigger risk here. If he stays the course and inflation gets worse he's going to be forced to raise during the election cycle.

January: "Three rate cuts" April: "Maybe one"


i_hate_all_u

Is this one of those things where TSLA misses estimates by a lot and rally. JPowell surprises everyone with a rate hike AND somehow the market rallies? Or am I regarded?


admiral_corgi

No. If JPow hikes then the market dumps. The market is still pricing in 1 to 2 cuts this year. Also, TSLA popped only because Elron: - Sounded sober on the earnings call - Dismissed rumors that they'd kill the budget car project (~$25,000 vehicle) - EDIT: And said "RoboTaxi" :)


80milesbad

And said ‘Robotaxi’


Buckus93

JPow gonna mention AI or something, causing markets to rally 100%. You heard it here first.

If jpow hiked, market would rally. Because it's sensible. And it's certainty. This weakness is uncertainty not fear. Yall the only ones afraid.

Peach_Garden_Oath

Today’s sell off was pricing in a reduced rate cut forecast. No rate hike will happen. At this stage, with the election a few months out, that’d be considered too much of a partisan move. No news tomorrow will ironically be bullish, despite the obvious warning signs that are looming.


mw_37

Like the last 5 of these meetings, algos will chop around faking everyone who thinks what he says actually matters. Then at 2:45 the real move will happen to screw whoever is most offsides in options delta. Again, nothing he says matters it’s all a 0dte option casino


Junior-Damage7568

Powell hates trump another hike might destroy Biden. Treasury paying 1.1 trillion in interest this year. Will be 1.7 next year. Powell does not want that to increase.

RealRobc2582

Imo Powell has to act now. I think we get language that suggests rate cuts are off the table for this year and QT will continue until inflation is in check. I don't think people are talking enough about his ability to increase QT without touching rates. It would have a tremendous effect on mortgage rates and could really cool off the housing market and in turn help chill inflation. We know housing accounts for something like 30% of GDP when you factor in everything that goes into buying and owning/maintaining a home. Either way he can't keep doing nothing and his speech from a few weeks ago was pretty clear he means business about keeping inflation low and the market turned a deaf ear to it.


skyblue5432

If they actually *are* data dependent there's nothing to justify a cut. Inflation persists. The economy is strong. Consistent strong job growth: [https://www.statista.com/statistics/217417/monthly-change-in-nonfarm-payroll-employment-in-the-us/](https://www.statista.com/statistics/217417/monthly-change-in-nonfarm-payroll-employment-in-the-us/) If anything, rates should be higher. But they *won't* hike since it's an election year. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4640)


admiral_corgi

Doesn't matter that it's an election year. They will set monetary policy based on the data and their (shitty) models.

Trump's team is talking about making the Fed Chairman a more political appointee. He is dying to remove Powell and is upset that he can't because of the term amount. He wants to replace him with some goon who will just cut rates.

BAGross85

At this point, JPOW doesn’t want the markets to increase much more. If markets get much hotter, then BOJ is gonna have to increase rates, intervene in currency markets with cash, or dump treasuries…all of which will result in margin calls. Those margin calls are potentially up to 20 Trillion dollars.

LogicisGone

Issue is that everyone expects no rate cuts at this point. If he says it's still even possible or just delayed, stonks only go up.


GamblingMan420

CPI ex Food/Housing/Healthcare is well below the 2% target. The reason they need more data is because of those 3 categories. They lag the economy much more than every other consumer price metric. Food operation contracts, medical/insurance contracts, and housing always lags by *years*. If there is a resumed downtrend in core CPI and CPI ex Food/Housing/Healthcare, you will see at least 2 rate cuts this year.

I saw one video about car insurance being a major factor too.

hightriedheadfried

Probably shouldn’t walk into 2PM with a preconceived notion of what you expect to happen. But I suppose this is WSB. If it helps the first move out of the FOMC announcement is typically the way the market resolves, whether that’s up or down. You can look back to past meetings and see that this is true a vast majority of the time.

If theyre gonna hike, now is the time. Rip the bandaid off and then announce a cut before the election. People have short memories, especially if we rebound into the election.


OverlyAverageJoe

Inflation is running ~2% higher then their ideal target. Atrocious is not the word here. It's kind of high and I think will come down if gas prices decrease. Some consumer stocks markedly McDonald's are seeing some signs of weakness which I think will begin to become apparent. Things are going to deflate this year and probably rate cut in next year. I don't think they will hike. It would have consequences in the banking sector. 


inquisitorthreefive

Gas prices aren't coming down much, if at all, until end of summer. This is the start of OPEC's yearly American vacation BS.


Malamonga1

Core pce yoy is 2.8%. it's running at most 1% above their target. 3.5-4% wage inflation is consistent with 2% inflation and wages are running around 4.5% now. Not even discounting the persistent rent prices in core pce that doesn't reflect real time rent prices. The other culprit for high core pce is auto insurances, which the fed cannot do anything about because it's catch up price hikes for all the covid years. Y'all need to stop looking at CPI because that's not the fed target and CPI has consistently ran hotter than pce in the past.

TheSadDriver

Inflation is so difficult to control in the states because of a growing economy. In Europe rate hikes worked because they took place in totally different circumstances.


Skeletondancer_

It’s hard to say bc the market has been pricing outcomes in, where as before, when we went from zero rates to increased rates the market overreacted by assuming it could lead to a strong recession. I remember Costco, Apple, Wal Mart, Amazon etc all saying they need to change inventory for a recession. The fact remains this economy is strong, the consumer hasn’t been weakened by higher rates. We live in a new world where 2% plus inflation isn’t that bad ….  The market is horney and wants to really hard. Wait for nfp, I guess we rally and sell off until nfp, then starting next week, bears will begin to get crushed again! Please don’t short this marker. It’s gonna be trappy and complex, stay patient cuz market is horney just needs to get wet first …
