Hey Traders,
Well, the Fed minutes just dropped, and let me tell you, there's a lot more going on beneath the surface than the headline rate cut suggests. While they officially lowered rates by 25 basis points, it's clear that a significant number of Fed officials are still deeply concerned about inflation.
They point the finger at potential changes in trade and immigration policies, likely a not-so-subtle jab at Trump's agenda. Tariffs and mass deportations? That's a recipe for higher prices, folks. No wonder they're worried.
The minutes also reveal a growing fear that inflation might be more stubborn than they initially anticipated. Some even hinted that the disinflationary process – that's the fancy term for bringing inflation down – might have stalled.
And let's not forget Cleveland Fed President Hammack. She voted against the rate cut entirely, arguing that inflation simply hasn't come down enough to justify easing monetary policy.
So, while the Fed may have cut rates this time around, it's clear that they're walking a tightrope. They're trying to balance the need to stimulate the economy with the growing risk of inflation getting out of hand.
This is going to be a wild ride. The next few months are going to be crucial. We need to keep a close eye on the data, and see how these potential policy changes impact the economy. One thing's for sure: the Fed is on high alert.
Let's check some of yesterdays order flow
NVIDIA (NVDA): The trader missed their initial momentum play but rolled the trade to next week, buying a call spread.
C3.ai (AI): The trader closed out profitable January calls and rolled down to March calls, potentially missing out on further gains.
NexGen Energy (NXE): This trade appears to be a stock replacement play with leverage, looking for the stock price to increase.
