LIVE NOW: FOMC RATE DECISION & PRESS CONFERENCE
In a Nutshell
FOMC holds rates at 3.5-3.75% amid solid GDP growth (2.4% this year), stable 4.4% unemployment, and elevated inflation (core PCE 3.0%), with Powell emphasizing data-dependent policy, anchored 2% expectations despite oil/tariff shocks, and balanced risks. Markets rally briefly post-decision then consolidate at QQQ/SPY support (595-597), with streamer analyzing stocks: bullish MU/ASTS technically but avoid overvalued TSLA/OPEN/NKE; warns against shorting speculative pumps or holding big losses (20-50%+). Key advice: manage risk with stops/profits pre-volatility, use tools like Investing Pro; pullback healthy, not crash—trade ranges informed by technicals/fundamentals.
