The Federal Reserve is holding interest rates at the current target range of 4.25% to 4.50%, cautioning that inflation still remains “somewhat elevated.” -
It was a widely expected move…. And it hasn’t yet dampened enthusiasm in the stock market as the major indexes continue to rally higher this week. -
Whatever uncertainty sits in the market right now, our thesis is still the same – we’re trading those sectors poised to overperform whatever the markets throw at us. The Federal Reserve is cooling off on its interest rate cuts for the foreseeable future, citing a commitment to hold the target federal funds rate at a range between 4.25% and 4.5%. With inflation holding steady and unemployment ticking lower, it’s not a total surprise to see a pause from the Fed. Right now, the central bank is assessing what the hardline economic policies of an incoming Trump administration mean for the broader economy. That suggests we’ll have to wait to see what the Fed is cooking up as the year progresses. Of course, the markets don’t appear to be sweating the details all that much in the near term… Investors mostly anticipated this result, pricing in near-100% odds of a pause ahead of the announcement. And after yesterday’s market close, none of the major indexes are showing any signs of caution. It’s a mixed bag for traders… But whatever happens from here, we have to keep our eyes on the most prized sectors that will benefit from the larger stock trends we’re watching this year. In today’s Masters in Trading Live at 11 a.m. ET, I’ll dive deep into the implications of the Fed’s latest move.
