[Chaikin Analytics] The Dark Side to This Week’s Fed Meeting --------------------------------------------------------------- Another grim jobs report may have rattled the markets last week. [But today, many investors are looking ahead for a hopeful silver lining.]( All eyes are on the Federal Reserve as they are likely to announce the first rate cut in over two years. This is widely believed to be a good thing for the U.S. stock market and the American public alike... Or, at the very least, a step towards the "normalcy" we've been craving since the 2022 bear market. But friends, I urge you not to forget that [there is a dark side to this story.]( Traders are placing steep bets on big rate cuts – not just next week but over the next 18 months.
