After a week that completed nine straight days of stock market gains, it seems difficult to suggest that the coming one will be more consequential.  Yet any week that features an FOMC meeting has the potential to offer significant fireworks.  Throw in a significant set of Treasury auctions, and one might expect some additional volatility.  So far, though, the market says, \u201cnot really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key highlight for the week is of course Wednesday\u2019s FOMC meeting and Chair Powell\u2019s ensuing press conference.  Market expectations are for no action \u2013 Forecast Trader <\/a> and CME FedWatch<\/a> both show only a 6% likelihood for a cut \u2013 but there is no shortage of potential drama that can occur.  We recently received a superficially ugly GDP number and a generally solid jobs report amidst plunging crude oil prices.  It will be critical to hear which pieces of data weigh more and less heavily in the committee\u2019s decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were able to ask a question at the presser, mine would be, \u201cif the two parts of the dual mandate appear to be in conflict, which might you favor?\u201d  Despite the solid rise in Nonfarm Payrolls and an unchanged Unemployment Rate, there are aspects of the labor market that appear to be deteriorating.  Might the current set of relatively quiescent price pressures allow the Fed to cut rates under those circumstances?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, does Powell want to risk cutting rates while the tariff situation remains unsettled?  Remember, barring some deals, the 90-day moratorium ends in early July.  There is an FOMC meeting on June 18th<\/sup>.  I doubt that the Fed has the stomach to cut rates before there is certainty regarding any tariff-related pressures.  That is the sort of move that could torch a Fed Chair\u2019s legacy.  Furthermore, Powell does not seem at all inclined to give into the President\u2019s haranguing him about lowering rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taken in combination, this is why we see Forecast Trader<\/a> and CME FedWatch<\/a> both showing odds that preclude cuts in June, and that July is no longer considered a certainty.  The FOMC statement and comments from Powell should give us a better read on the respective likelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, we will get important clues about international investors\u2019 willingness to buy US Treasuries.  I am writing this just ahead of today\u2019s 3-year note auction, which will be followed by a 10-year auction tomorrow and a 30-year auction on Thursday.  Although there are persistent concerns about foreign investors being net sellers of US assets, the last time these bonds were auctioned, the results were better than feared.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite stocks adhering to their now usual pattern of selling off early, then garnering strength as the morning passes, we are still not yet in positive territory as I write this.  It\u2019s tough to maintain a 10-day winning streak.  Then again, it was rare enough to get the 9-day streak that culminated on Friday.  Much will rely on traders\u2019 views on the 3-year auction, and frankly, whether they care if the results aren\u2019t to the bond market\u2019s liking.  But as we noted last week<\/a>, we still see relatively steep skews on near-term S&P 500 (SPX) options.  The general tone of the market seems quite sanguine, but under the surface there is some desire for hedging protection.  Maybe it will actually be necessary, but as the following table shows, we haven\u2019t seen major fireworks after the last couple of FOMC meetings.  Will it be different this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
