Today is another big day for the market with an FOMC decision after the close. And this time, unlike most of the recent past, there's some uncertainty as to what the Fed will do. Last week, it seemed more likely that the rate cut would be 25 bps. Now, 50 bps seems more likely:
The CME FedWatch Tool shows live odds of where we are likely to end up this afternoon, and it's far from clear which way things will go. And that means the market is prime for potential volatility.
So, I have to consider not only what that will do to the market, but which sectors might be most impacted. Or, in my case, I prefer looking for stocks that may be less impacted by the FOMC decision and more impacted by other key inputs. Once I know the FOMC decision, I can look at financials, homebuilders, etc. that have been prone to moves in rate projections, but for today, I want to look at a stock that's starting to show signs of a potential move with or without the FOMC decision.
And that stock is AI:
As you can tell from the stock symbol and company name, C3.ai is tied to artificial intelligence. And the stock chart is looking very intriguing here as it is finally above the 20-Day Moving Average. That could be setting up a squeeze toward prior highs in the low 30's.
What's more? AI has historically low implied volatility:
*From CBOE LiveVol
This means that the market is predicting future movement in AI to be historically less than the norm. That means that options are as cheap as they get.
So, in this case, where I have an idea of a stock that can move higher with or without the FOMC's help and a leverage element that's incredibly favorable, I can get that much more excited about the opportunity!

This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading.

No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.
