Fed Decision Day Is Live: Open Your NordFX Account, Build a Watchlist and Test the Fed Day Scenario Step by Step 🚨
Today is the moment traders have circled for weeks. The Fed announces its rate decision at 2:00 PM ET, and thirty minutes later new Chair Kevin Warsh steps up for his very first press conference. 🎤 Markets are pricing in a hold at 3.50% to 3.75%, but the real fireworks sit in the updated dot plot. Back in March, the median projection pointed to one rate cut by year end. Since then, May inflation surprised to the upside at 4.2% year over year, and traders widely expect that projected cut to disappear from the chart entirely.
Add in this morning's May retail sales report, also out at 8:30 AM ET, and you've got a full data collision. April sales already showed consumers spending more on essentials while pulling back elsewhere, with gas prices climbing as tensions in the Middle East keep energy markets on edge. 🌍 Tariff pressure is still in the mix too. That's a lot of volatility packed into one trading day.
Bitcoin isn't sitting this one out either. BTC has been swinging hard, trading in the mid $60,000s after ETF outflows hit their largest monthly total of the year. 📉📈 A hawkish dot plot or a stronger dollar reaction could easily ripple into crypto by the close.
So here's the move: don't watch from the sidelines, build the setup. ✅ Open your account in minutes, drop EUR/USD, gold, the S&P 500 and BTC/USD onto a watchlist, then run the Fed Day scenario step by step as the headlines hit. Test how each asset reacts to the statement, the dot plot and Warsh's tone in the press conference, all before deciding how you want to trade it.
