The Monday and Tuesday before an FOMC meeting are often thought of as do-nothing markets. Eventually we do move into a wait and see mode. The question becomes when. That action could start as late as the hour before the FOMC announcement, or it could start as early as this morning. Unfortunately, the only thing to do in that case, is wait and see.
Often, we will see the market begin to try to influence the decision from the FOMC. Markets have been known to sell off at times prior to an FOMC meeting where the possibility of a rate hike exist. The CME FedWatch Tool is showing that a rate hike may not be the near certainty it was perceived to have been last month.
