★This week is Jerome Powell’s penultimate meeting as chairman of the Fed—don’t expect him to drop Wall Street many hints
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"Jerome Powell's final meetings as Fed Chair are critical because his words heavily influence market expectations for interest rates and economic policy. With a leadership transition looming, any perceived uncertainty or shift in tone could spark significant market volatility, impacting investments and borrowing costs across the economy."

The Big Market Report Take
Powell's got one job this week: keep the market guessing, not hand-holding. Don't expect any crystal balls from the Fed chair, especially with another meeting still on the docket. He's playing it close to the vest, as always.
