By late morning, we see Treasury yields lower by 14-16 basis points, while the S&amp;P 500 (SPX) is up over 1%.&nbsp; The Russell 2000 (RTY) is up just less than 3%, and NYSE advancers lead decliners by about 5:1.&nbsp; This is a powerful, across-the-board rally predicated upon solid economic news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now what?&nbsp; It was clear that markets expected no chance of a rate change at today\u2019s FOMC meeting, but expectations for a September cut rose from 58% yesterday to 81% now.&nbsp; Two full cuts are now priced in for 2024, up from 1.5 yesterday.&nbsp; It is quite fair to believe that progress toward the Fed\u2019s inflation target would raise the likelihood for cuts, even if we discover later that the Summary of Economic Projections (aka SEP or \u201cdot plot\u201d) was likely to show that two cuts were already expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We now have to wonder if the markets\u2019 joyful reaction to the CPI report will necessitate a change in tone from Chair Powell.&nbsp; Traders have come to expect a Goldilocks mien from him, if not an outright dovish tone.&nbsp; Even when he tries to be balanced in his approach, traders seize upon the market friendly portion of his narrative.&nbsp; Today he can\u2019t help but notice the euphoric reaction to CPI; will he want to take a more measured, if not dour, tone to avoid throwing gasoline onto the fire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, we\u2019ve already seen a relatively typical post-FOMC move occur already.&nbsp; As the table below shows, it is normal to see a 1.35% change for SPX on Fed day.&nbsp; I simply don\u2019t have enough data to predict what might occur when we\u2019ve already had a move of that magnitude before the announcement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"1041\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Picture5-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207993 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Picture5-1.png 936w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Picture5-1-700x779.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Picture5-1-300x334.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Picture5-1-768x854.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 936px;
