Hi YXI friends,

As everyone expects to “sell the news”, we are getting a post-FOMC rally instead. Perhap it’s to “sell the ‘sell-the-news’”, as traders now have the green light to chase rallies after the FOMC gets out of the way.

Personally, I found last night’s FOMC paradoxical. The Fed is expecting better economic progress in its new Projections while simultaneously cutting rates. This implies an inherent dovish bias among the Fed members, especially after Trump appointed a close advisor to the Board of Governors.

Today, we first break down the FOMC, but also compare the current macro context with the rate-cutting decision in September 2024.
