Saturday Trades and Recording 3/16/2024

Markets higher, FED Week

Last week the markets were lower with some volatility. It was a triple witching options expiration which typically leads to some action. Markets are higher this morning as we begin FED week.

On Wednesday the FOMC will give us their decision on interest rates, the call is for no change. If we are supposed to be data dependent, the FED can’t cut rates, they must hike.

The only way there will be rate cuts this year is if it’s a political move. The economy, inflation and many other factors clearly state that rate cuts are off the table.
