🌟🌟As of Wednesday 18 March 2026, the biggest market impact belongs to Jerome Powell. While Jensen Huang builds the chips, Powell holds the keys to the capital that buys them.
At 2pm ET today in the US, the Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates steady in the 3.5% range. However with the Iran war now in its 3rd week, Powell is facing his toughest balancing act.
Jerome Powell is currently like a pilot trying to land a plane in a thunderstorm while the owner of the airline (Trump) is shouting through the cockpit door to go faster and cut the interest rate.
Powell will say :
"While the economy continues to expand at a solid pace, the war in Iran has introduced uncertainty.
We are data dependent. If the data says hike, we might. If the data says cut we will probably wait until the next meeting just to be sure.
In short we prefer to sit on our hands and wait and see meeting by meeting.
May God Bless America"
