title: Santa Powell is coming to town.
description: "Last FOMC interest rate decision of 2024 is today at 2PM ET, followed by the usual press conference. A 25bps rate cut looks like a done deal. Key questions:1) Why is he cutting while stocks are ATH and Core CPI above 3% 43 months in a row= 2) Will it be a \"hawkish cut\" with significant upside revisions to growth and inflation forecasts + downward revision to the dot plot? \n\nMerry Christmas Mr Powell \n\nSource image: TrendSpider"
