Good MorningEquity markets traded within a tight range on Tuesday, hovering near record highs, as traders wait on the FOMC. The FOMC is set to release its next policy move today, which may surprise the market. The equity market expects the first cut to come by May, and the FOMC may indicate late summer or fall as the likely timeframe if they estimate at all. The risk for them is letting up on the economic pressure too soon, allowing activity to accelerate and inflation to go along with it.
Earnings reports from big tech will also impact today's action. Reports from Advanced Micro Devices, Microsoft, and Google are mixed, with one outperforming, one in alignment with expectations, and the other not, sending their shares in differing directions in after-hours trading. The takeaway for investors is that market action may become volatile over the next few days to two weeks as the news is digested and the outlook altered. Featured: Boring, cheap, and paying 6% (Ad)
