The Fed Takes Center Stage (5 minute read)
Today at 2 PM ET, the Fed's wrapping up its much-anticipated December pow-wow. While the Fed's likely to keep the Fed funds rate as is, the grapevine's buzzing about them maybe hinting at rate cuts in 2024. Cue the big question: how many cuts are we talking next year? According to the CME Fed Watch Tool, folks are eyeing 4 to 5 cuts in the next 12 months.

If the Fed throws a curveball with new comments or projects fewer cuts, it might just rock the boat for the stock market, which has been riding high lately. Buckle up, the rollercoaster might be in for a twist or two!

But hey, here's a silver lining – despite this stumble, the company’s still up 20% for the year.
