Macro
It will be a somewhat busy day with US CPI this morning, and the FOMC rate decision this afternoon followed the press conference at 2:30. The Fed meeting should be uneventful, with interest rates expected to remain unchanged.
There may be some questions regarding the repo market and liquidity, the state of the balance sheet, and its expansion. One final thing that may come in to focus is the Fed’s forecast for GDP, Inflation outlook, and future longer-term rate outlook as part of its dot plot.
S&P 500 Futures
S&P 500 futures are pointing to a minor decline, and 3,140 continues to be near-term resistance, with stronger support around 3,110. It seems as if investors are just in the mood to wait out the Fed, and perhaps the decision on tariffs with China.
I’m not sure that new tariffs will hurt the market all that much, they haven’t too this point, and there is no evidence to suggest that are causing higher prices or even slowing the economy all that much.
