Powell made an appearance on Monday but will remain silent; the real show is in the dot plot after the rate cut on Wednesday.

[Bitu] Powell will attend a memorial event for Schultz at Stanford next Monday, but don't expect him to reveal anything - the Fed is currently in a quiet period before the decision, and he won't mention a word on economic topics.

The real highlight is the interest rate decision on Wednesday. Traders have pushed the probability of a 25 basis point cut to nearly 90%, and this matter is basically a done deal. The rate cut itself may not be the biggest news; what everyone is more interested in is whether the Fed will update the dot plot, which contains clues on how interest rates will move through 2026.

To be honest, under such strong expectations for interest rate cuts, the dot plot is the key variable that determines how the market will play out next.

Powell is just going to fetch soy sauce this time; what we really need to watch is how the dot plot looks on Wednesday.
