Today’s Fed decision is the main event, and markets are laser-focused.
📉 91% odds of a 25 bps rate cut ⚡️ ~9% chance of a shock 50 bps cut
If we get 50 bps? 🔥 It’d be the second straight September with a 50 bps cut 📆 Would echo September 2024’s bold move 🧨 First back-to-back 50 bps start to a cut cycle since 2008
This isn’t just a rate cut. It’s a macro moment.
✅ Base Case: 25 bps The Soft Landing Play •Inflation’s cooling ☑️ •Labor market’s softening ⚠️ •A 25 bps cut keeps the Fed in control mode •Powell likely stays data-dependent and cautious
🧠 This is the Fed saying “We’ve got this no panic.”
🧨 Wild Card: 50 bps The Shock-and-Awe Cut •Not the consensus, but on the table •Signals 🔺 Growth fears are real 🔺 Inflation is under control 🔺 Fed is ready to move fast
Would ignite risk assets, but might raise recession alarms
🎯 What Matters Most Today 📊 Dot Plot Will they revise lower for 2026/2027? 🎙️ Powell’s Presser, Tone could shift markets more than the cut 📉 Economic Projections: Especially core PCE + unemployment
🔮 Final Word 🚀 25 bps cut is the likely move ⚡️ 50 bps would be a headline grabber 🧭 Powell’s words will chart the course for Q4 and beyond
The rate cut cycle is here. The pace is the question.
