🔥 MACRO FOCUS TODAY: FED DECISION & TRUMP IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Markets are locked in on today’s key macro developments as risk sentiment hangs in the balance.
🔹 Fed Interest Rate Decision (2:00 PM ET)
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep rates unchanged at 3.5%–3.75%, following three cuts last year. All eyes will shift to Jerome Powell’s speech at 2:30 PM ET, where investors will look for hints on the next policy move.
🔹 President Trump – Iowa
Trump is expected to continue emphasizing economic strength and his stance on lower interest rates, although no official public speech is scheduled for today. Any headlines could still impact market expectations.

📊 Market Takeaway:
Traders are watching Powell closely for forward guidance. A prolonged pause looks likely, with June shaping up as a more realistic window for the next rate cut, rather than an immediate move today.
