💵 Fed Decision Divides Market Ahead of Vote

Today’s Fed decision splits the market: futures show a 30% chance of a rate hike and 70% for a cut.

This gap hasn’t appeared since before March 2020, when consensus was near 99% for each meeting.

Trump pushes for cuts and backed replacing Powell with Worsha, aiming for easing. But the Iran war’s oil shock and some Worsha comments hint the Fed might hike, which would spook markets.

Citadel fueled fears that the Fed could raise interest rates, accelerating the selloff in AI stocks and scooping up much of Leopold Aschenbrenner's portfolio near the lows.

The AI-focused hedge fund, Situational Awareness, went bankrupt and sold all assets.

Once valued near $45 billion, it suffered heavy losses from falling AI infrastructure stocks, including SK Hynix.

Ashenbrenner launched the fund after leaving OpenAI in 2024 and gained fame for early strong results.

By Q1 2026, top holdings were Nebius Group, Sandisk, Micron, and CoreWeave, all down over 30% this month.

⚡️ JUST IN: Fed Chair Warsh is considering reducing the number of Fed meetings held each year, according to reports.

Since 1981, the FOMC has met eight times annually, with a legal minimum of four meetings per year. Warsh has not specified how many meetings he would propose. Fewer meetings would lead to less frequent rate votes and policy decisions, signaling a significant change at the Fed.
