Fed Decision Day: What to Watch – Rate Cut Outlook

Today the Federal Reserve Board is set to decide on additional rate cuts.

Our speculative view is that the Fed delivers one final rate cut, but pairs the cut with a pivot towards a hawkish “data-dependent” tone.

A hawkish tilt likely impacts broader risk markets. Specifically, we are watching the U.S. Dollar reaction, as recent dollar weakness has caused gold and silver prices to surge.

Regardless, today’s meeting will be a market-moving event – and if there’s one certainty heading into this meeting, it’s that Chair Powell will once again absorb the bulk of the administration’s criticism.
