It’s Fed Day everyone! No, it’s not a national holiday…so make sure you show up to work as usual. But definitely keep an eye on Washington around 2 pm Eastern when the Federal Reserve announces the results of its latest gathering.

John Maynard Keynes is credited with saying, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” though there is no definitive evidence that he actually said or wrote it.

S&P 500: What Past Post-Inauguration Patterns Tell Us About 2025

Tip-for-tap tariff policy has economic uncertainty swelling – and the market retreating in a manner that some are already comparing to Covid-19 and 2020. This seems like a reasonable comparison...but now is not 2020. I believe many of the market’s current concerns could be alleviated, advises Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.

Market Minute 3/11/25: Nasdaq Suffers Worst Day Since '22 as Techs Tank

There’s not much nice to say about yesterday’s market action…but we are seeing equities attempt to stabilize in the early going today.
