NASDAQ Composite pulled back towards 11,200.

Investors get ready for the Fed decision

As traders chose to take some profits off the table ahead of the Fed Interest Rate Decision, which will be issued tomorrow, the S&P 500 encountered resistance near 4100 and pulled back towards 4015. The very tech-focused NASDAQ Composite has likewise retreated from session highs but still recorded solid gains of 0.7%.


Traders today concentrated on the November inflation figures. In November, the inflation rate decreased from 7.7% in October to 7.1%, below the analyst average of 7.3%. Additionally, the Core Inflation Rate has decreased, going from 6.3% to 6%.


Numbers for inflation were received with unbridled joy. The U.S. dollar tested multi-month lows as Treasury yields decreased and investors' desire for safe-haven assets fell. However, 30 minutes after the opening bell, profit-taking pressured markets.


According to the FedWatch Tool, there is a 79.4% chance that the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points at its meeting tomorrow. Traders don't think that the Fed will decide to take a more dovish stance following the publication of inflation statistics.


Since the Fed is likely to fulfill market expectations, traders will pay close attention to Powell's remarks. Bulls are now concerned that Powell may assert, in spite of the most recent statistics, that the Fed needs to increase pressure on inflation. Powell has warned that if the Fed didn't succeed in bringing inflation down in the ensuing months, it might become entrenched.
