Financial markets on edge amid Fed decision, JPMorgan cost increases, and Oracle earnings
On the day that should deliver a 25–basis point interest rate cut by the Fed, equity markets remain in a state of nervous anticipation. JP Morgan’s forecasts of rising costs in 2026 have added further uncertainty, while investors await the earnings of another big tech company: Oracle. Equities are expected to post a moderate increase, bonds remain uncertain, gold stays positive, and volatility is stable.
The picture captured by our intermarket dashboards remains broadly steady. Market sentiment is still neutral but leaning toward risk-on, with risk indicators holding to their medium-term trends, even though uncertainty is dampening momentum. Equities remain above their short- and medium-term moving averages, while bonds appear more jittery and are again testing the 50-day moving average. A medium-term upward trend is emerging for commodities, albeit a highly volatile one.
On the macro front, the day is clearly centered on the U.S. central bank’s decision, but attention should also be paid to the Bank of Canada’s policy choices, Chinese inflation, and developments in U.S. labor costs in the third quarter of 2025.
Our forward-looking analyses point to a moderately positive day for equities, with many signs of uncertainty but a stable technical backdrop. The bond market remains in a wait-and-see mode ahead of the Fed’s decision, while precious metals continue to show strength among commodities. Volatility remains stable.
