What Powell Might Say Today That Could Rattle Trump and the Market

by | May 7, 2025

>>>Today’s the big day: The Fed is set to hopefully give us clues about its plan for the future of interest rates. And I’ll be live at 1:30 p.m. ET for real-time analysis and more!<<<

Stocks are up a bit across the board as we await the latest FOMC rate decision at 2 p.m. ET and the big earnings report of the day, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) after the close.

I expect trading will be very subdued heading into 2 o’clock, though we are looking bullish before the open. The bond market (TLT) is flat and we don’t want to break yesterday’s low of $86.64.

Crude oil is backing off the eight-day exponential moving average, and we get the latest EIA Petroleum Status Report at 10:30 a.m. ET. 

In addition to AMD for earnings today, I’m watching Novo Nordisk (NVO), Arm Holdings (ARM), Uber (UBER), DoorDash (DASH) and Carvana (CVNA). 

As for the FOMC, I expect the Fed to say it’s not taking any action right now — no rate cuts — and Fed Chair Jerome Powell may stick it to Trump over tariffs. Here’s the main thing we need to watch out for…

I’ll cover all that, my daily hitlist of longs and shorts and more in this morning’s “Premarket Must Watch” video!
