Today's question for the Fed, will it be policy or politics?
The central bankers won't be changing the benchmark lending rate, and there's no new dot plot and no new economic forecasts.
For the markets, the issue is whether they get any kind of hints about when or if rates will be cut again.
But for Washington and Wall Street, the overriding question is what impact President Trump's threats might have had on the policy committee and whether they have convinced Jay Powell to stay on as governor when his term as Fed chair expires in May.
Will Powell repeat his angry response to being subpoenaed by the Justice Department or will he seek to de-escalate?
Any suggestion Powell may stay on to handicap Trump's efforts to control the Fed will have an impact on the rate outlook.
because we saw a rise in the Michigan numbers, but the conference board numbers go down 84.5 from 89.1.
The present situation seen at 113.7 compared to 116.8.
And the expectations number is at 65.1 from 70.7.
It's going to be an interesting meeting because they're not going to do anything right now.
There's just a three and a half percent chance, according to futures, that they do any kind of rate move.
There's no dot plot.
There's no economic forecast.
Everybody will be looking to Jay Powell for guidance on the future.
But what's the first question going to be?
Is it going to be about guidance for the future or is it going to be about his feud with Donald Trump?
So a lot to watch there.
And it will be a very interesting Wednesday afternoon.
It's going to be an interesting meeting because they're not going to do anything right now.
There's just a three and a half percent chance, according to futures, that they do any kind of rate move.
