Markets feel awfully calm going into FOMC meet tomorrow and day after tomorrow. 25 bps rate hike is a consensus yet there are so many other unknown variables here which will impact the economy. Current market behaviour does not suggest any big moves in this week.
Yeah do a 100 bps hike and get it over with.
These meetings are fucking headache
What do you mean by calm? Everything was red today.
Still it was calm and slow. This was only some profit booking. Wouldn’t call this a fall.
This is literally how the market moves and esp. indexes 99.99% of the time besides crashes, bankruptcies or following recoveries. If you think this is not a meaningful move in an index you are either not invested in any index or you are a perma bear that prays for the 99% drop every day.
I was short on 20 lots 0 DTE SPY puts but Monday market never made me panic on my position. So that is why I said despite fall market felt calm to me otherwise Gamma spike would have forced me to cut my position
What time will the decision be released
2pm EST Feb 1st

There is no god damn way it's only going to be a 25bp hike, 50 at least and 75 isn't surprising

>There is always a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding major events like the FOMC meeting, but from what I can see the markets are generally calm and expectant of a 25bps rate hike. However, as you say, there are many other unknown variables that could impact the economy in different ways, so it's impossible to predict exactly how things will play out.
