In this insightful video, join Luca Santos, ACY Securities' Technical Market Analyst, as he takes us through a comprehensive breakdown of the highly anticipated FOMC meeting and rate decision.

With the FOMC meeting just around the corner, Luca sets the stage for one of the most crucial events this week, shedding light on what we can expect from the Federal Reserve. He underlines that while the rate pause seems almost certain, the real question lies in what's next for the FOMC.

Luca emphasizes the importance of staying informed by mentioning his recent in-depth analysis on the US economy, shared on his Telegram channel and in a recent webinar. He points out that the FOMC is unlikely to change interest rates this week, despite the robust US economy and strong job market. However, he predicts that the Fed might continue to make borrowing more expensive and could raise rates by 25 basis points in December.

The key takeaway from Luca's analysis is that the most critical aspect of the FOMC meeting will be the rate statement and the subsequent speech by Chairman Jerome Powell. The market will closely watch for insights on economic growth, inflation projections, and the forward guidance for potential rate hikes.

Luca also touches on the importance of consumer spending and inflation, explaining how a constructive hike in December might be on the horizon if these factors align. Additionally, he highlights the role of bond yields in influencing the Fed's decisions.

This video serves as a valuable resource for traders and investors, providing critical insights into the upcoming FOMC meeting and its potential impact on the financial markets.
