The main market event will arrive on Wednesday. It is at this time that the federal reserve will announce its last decision on interest rates, and unanimous wait is for its first reduction of the year. Such a decision could kick off the job market, which has slowed down.

The actions have already worked towards records assuming that a reduction arrives on Wednesday. Expectations are also high so that the Fed continues to lower rates until the end of this year and in 2026.

This is why more attention will be on what the president of the Fed, Jerome Powell, said during her press conference following the decision than on the decision herself. Fed officials will also publish their latest projections to find out where they see interest rates and the economy in the years to come, which could provide another potential flash point.

What keeps the Fed on the guard is a possible inflation jump due to President Donald Trump’s prices. Indeed, lower interest rates can give more fuel to inflation and send it even more. And inflation has so far been difficult to pass under the target target of the Fed.

Another threat to Wall Street is if the job market slows down too much. In this case, a resulting recession could create a slowdown in business profits which is large enough to overwhelm the benefits that lower interest rates cause in the short term.

Trump, on the other hand, has pushed angrily for more interest rates reductions. He often attacked Powell personally, hitting him “too late” and puts pressure on the withdrawal of one of the governors of the Fed from his board of directors.
