Good evening,
Today is Fed Day.
The markets are bracing for the Federal Reserve’s latest decision…
As widely expected, the Fed is set to hold rates steady for the fifth consecutive meeting, even as some governors dissent and pressure builds for future rate cuts.
Add that sort of uncertainty… and Microsoft and Meta earnings… and you have quite a busy session.
Are you prepared?
That’s why we created TheoTrade Market Masters…

Historically, stocks that often move the most following Fed decisions include growth‑oriented names like Nvidia and Tesla.
Tesla has also shown outsized intraday moves on Fed days… up sharply when cuts surprise to the dovish side, although gains sometimes fade by close.
In addition, defensive and capital‑intensive sectors such as utilities, healthcare, consumer staples, telecoms, and homebuilders have historically outperformed in the six months following initial rate cut cycles.
A breakdown of sectors to watch if the tone is dovish, especially tech, semiconductors, autos, utilities, healthcare, and real estate.
The tickers that are likely to show volatility post‑announcement: Nvidia, Tesla, plus broader semiconductor peers and defensive names.
Positioning implications ahead of earnings catalysts from mega‑caps like Microsoft and Meta, with possible ripple effects across AI‑related stocks.
A primer on preparing for volatility…
The best opportunities today won’t come from guessing the Fed. They’ll come from having a plan before the dust settles and knowing how to trade the real moves this afternoon.
Look forward to seeing you then.
Stay positive,
Garrett Baldwin
