      [Options Strategy] Two tips apply to FOMC trading

      The U.S. Federal Reserve kicks off a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday with officials widely expected to keep interest rates on hold for now, but also flagging in new economic projections whether they feel rates still need to rise further before the end of the year.A new policy statement and interest rate decision will be released at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) on Wednesday, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell scheduled to hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. to elaborate.As of today, it appears that market expectations for this meeting are minimal. In fact, Fed funds futures point to a 0.8% probability, equating to no rate hike this week. The chances of a rate hike at the upcoming meeting are also slim, with the probability of a 25 basis point hike in November now at 32 percent and a December rate hik

      This week's focus is on the Fed's decision on interest rates. The interest rate on the US 10-year Treasury bond is at 4.347%. The Fed will announce its September interest rate decision at 2 o 'clock on Thursday, followed by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's monetary policy resolution press conference at 2:30. Interest rates are expected to stay on hold at 5.25 percent to 5.5 percent, although one more hike this year is likely given last week's economic data showing accelerating inflation and a strong labor market.Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said last week's inflation report supports the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) keeping rates unchanged this week.
