#FOMCMeeting – Heads Up! Volatility Alert for Today and Tomorrow
Brothers trading #long and #short, stay sharp – big market swings are expected.
Meeting Details:
Date: May 6–7, 2025
Decision Announcement: 2:00 AM, May 8 (Hanoi time)
Fed Chair Powell’s Press Conference: 2:30 AM, May 8 (Hanoi time)
Key Points to Watch:
Current interest rate: 4.25%–4.50% (unchanged since Dec 2024)
GDP: Down 0.3% last quarter
Jobs: +177,000 in April
Inflation: Core PCE up 2.6% YoY
Even though GDP dipped, the job market looks strong. But Trump’s new tax policies have sparked recession fears. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady for now, with potential rate cuts later this year if the economy weakens further.
Trade carefully – the next 48 hours could be intense.#USHouseMarketStructureDraft
