Good MorningTraders face a critical turning point this week. The FOMC meets this week and will release its policy statement on Wednesday. The committee is unlikely to alter policy at this meeting, but will likely issue a statement indicating potential for cuts if the data and conditions allow. As it is, inflation has subsided relative to 2024 and is tracking toward the Fed's target. If this trend continues, the Fed will likely cut rates over the summer and potentially two to three more times by year's end.
Other hurdles this week include earnings. The Q1 earnings season is winding down, with the only major group left to report being the retailers. This week's action will consist of a report from Advanced Micro Devices that will either affirm or refute the idea that it can gain traction and take share from NVIDIA. If the answer is no, this stock will likely fall to new lows and weigh heavily on broad market sentiment. Featured: Elon Warns of $36T Crisis - Trump Scrambling For A Fix (American Hartford Gold)
