Last Wednesday's meeting not only raised the inflation outlook but also signaled a restrained approach to rate cuts, leaving investors scrambling to evaluate its potential impacts on the financial landscape.

Happy Friday, traders. It's December 20th, and the market fell at the opening bell, but prices recovered after snow began falling on Wall Street. Since the FOMC Wednesday meeting, markets have trended lower. PCE inflation numbers came in lower than expected- growing at 2.4% and core prices at 2.8%.

Powell cut rates, but hawkish cut! It sent US equities to a sea of red, DJ (-2.58%), S&P (-2.95%) and Nasdaq (-3.62%). Market already fully priced in 25 bps cut but the hawkish tone deteriorated risk sentiment.
Chair Powell said “today was a closer call” whether Fed decided to cut or not. Interest rates may not go down as fast as investor expected. “From here, it's a new phase, and we're going to be cautious about further cuts.”

Happy Thursday, December 19th. The market climbed after tumbling Wednesday following an FOMC dot plot projection that painted a sorry picture of next year's inflation. Whereas inflation at the end of the year was previously projected to dip to 2.1%, the new projection sees it hitting 2.5% by the end of 2025.
