D-Day is approaching for the markets, as a two-day FOMC meeting begins this Tuesday, with a key rate announcement tomorrow. The market is anticipating a rate cut with a high degree of certainty, with some even speculating on a “double” rate cut, not of 25, but of 50 basis points.

In response to these expectations, the S&P 500 has been setting record highs in recent days, with a new all-time high closing on Monday at 6,615.28 points. Investors are likely already factoring in the rate cut.

However, the Fed still has room to boost the markets. Investors expect more rate cuts before the end of the year, and confirmation from the Federal Reserve, even half-heartedly, could fuel the market rally.

News about the trade war could also support a more substantial rise in the S&P 500 and other indexes, as President Donald Trump said late Monday that trade talks between the United States and China were progressing well, and that a meeting with Chinese President Xi is scheduled for Friday.
