$Dow Jones(.DJI)$  Is the market reaction so surprising? Not for me this time. [Cool]  

$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$  The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to announce a 0.25% rate cut, although my view is that a reduction should be in the subsequent meeting. Looking ahead to 2025, the committee will be signaling that further cuts will be more cautious and less frequent. The message remains that while the economy is showing resilience, inflationary pressures continue to warrant close monitoring. From a market perspective, it's crucial to note that much (in fact All) of the potential rate cut is already priced in. As such, any deviation from expectations or hawkish commentary could result in a negative market reaction. However, I feel that the exuberance we're seeing in the markets is somewhat

$S&P 500(.SPX)$  I've said it before, and I will say it again: I strongly believe there won't be a rally following the Federal Reserve meeting in December. While the general consensus is that a rate cut might be on the table, I am not convinced it will spark a significant market rally. With ongoing economic uncertainties and inflationary pressures, any rate cut may not have the desired effect on investor sentiment. This is my personal opinion, and of course, readers are free to form their own. I will be closely watching how things unfold, but I remain skeptical that the market will rally post-FED meeting. Lets see how it plays out.

$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$  According to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in a 65.4% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut in December, as reported by Reuters. However, I disagree with this view. A rapid and substantial rate cut could risk reigniting inflation. The decision is still uncertain and will depend on how economic conditions unfold. Even if the Fed does implement a rate cut in December, it’s likely already priced into the indexes. Conversely, if they choose not to cut, the market could react negatively. It seems like a lose-lose situation. Ultimately, I still believe the Fed will not cut rates.
