⛔ Major Volatility Ahead
Markets are on edge as we head into the Fed’s big event. If you’re in the #long or #short positions, today and tomorrow could get wild.
Here’s the Breakdown:
FOMC Meeting May 6–7, 2025
Rate Decision Drops 2:00 AM (Hanoi Time), May 8
Powell Speaks: 2:30 AM (Hanoi Time), May 8
Current Rate Still locked at 4.25%–4.50% since Dec 2024.
Key Data Check:
Q1 GDP Shrunk by 0.3%
April Jobs +177,000 jobs
Core PCE Inflation +2.6% YoY
So, what’s the vibe? Despite GDP slipping, the job market is steady. But Trump’s fresh tax changes have people whispering “recession”again. The Fed’s likely holding rates for now, with eyes on a possible cut later this year.
