As the Federal Reserve begins a two-day policy meeting, analysts are optimistic about the potential for stock and bond market gains. Mark Okada of Sycamore Tree Capital expressed a bullish outlook, attributing it to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's recent shift in policy stance, referred to as the 'pivot party.' Historical data suggests that stock and bond markets tend to rally around Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. Recent analysis from Citi indicates that the weeks following the last six FOMC meetings have seen positive gains, with meeting days often resulting in lower U.S. yields and a steeper yield curve. This trend has led many market observers to align their expectations with a favorable outcome for investors as the Fed deliberates on monetary policy.
