🚨 Fed Watch: Powell’s Potential Swan Song — Volatility Incoming?
The next Federal Reserve interest rate decision lands on January 27–28, 2026, with the announcement hitting Pakistan time (PKT) at 12:00 AM on January 29.
A rate cut is highly unlikely — current odds sit near 5%. Inflation remains sticky, economic data is still resilient, and the Fed has little incentive to ease policy just yet. Rates are expected to stay elevated.
So why is this meeting such a big deal?
This could mark one of Jerome Powell’s final major moments as Fed Chair. Growing pressure from the DOJ, combined with increasing political influence from the White House, is fueling debate over the Fed’s independence. Meanwhile, the quiet power struggle over who replaces Powell is already heating up behind the scenes.
💥 What this means for markets
Uncertainty is fuel for volatility.
As leadership questions intensify, markets may see sharp moves, fakeouts, and sudden breakouts. Historically, experienced traders position early — while retail reacts after momentum is already in motion.
