1. What is the FOMC Meeting?
The FOMC Meeting refers to the meeting held by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to discuss whether to raise the federal funds rate. This will determine the adjustments to the US monetary policy stance.
The FOMC board consists of seven members of the Board of Governors and five Federal Reserve Bank presidents. Their decisions represent the Fed's decision on interest rate levels. It is one of the most important incidents for financial markets. The FOMC may decide to raise, cut or keep interest rates unchanged. Any decision could have a huge impact on the US dollar and even the entire financial market.
2. What are some related incidents that are noteworthy?
(1) US non-farm payroll data released in February
According to data from the US Department of Labor, non-farm payrolls in the US increased by 311,000 after seasonal adjustment in February. Although it is a drop from the previous month, it still exceeded expectations of 205,000. The recorded unemployment rate in the US was 3.6% in February, which is higher than the expected data and previous data of 3.40%. Spot gold continued to rise after the data was released.
(2) The abrupt bank collapses in early March
Signature Bank (SBNY.US) went bankrupt following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB.US). The S&P 500 index plummeted 6% that day, and the risk of financial instability rose sharply. In light of this, the United States has announced the establishment of a new $25 billion loan program. The US Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) jointly stated that Silicon Valley Bank depositors "will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer". Propped by this and the surge of 10% in Bitcoin price, the risk-averse sentiments are cooling off.
(3) US CPI data released in February
CPI before seasonal adjustment in February recorded an annual rate of 6%, a fall for the eighth straight month and posting a new low since September 2021. The monthly rate of US CPI after seasonal adjustment in February was 0.4%, the lowest since December 2022. The core CPI before seasonal adjustment in February recorded an annual rate of 5.5%, a fall for the sixth straight month, and is the lowest since December 2021. Meanwhile, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's preferred "super core inflation" (excluding housing and rents) rose to 0.5% from 0.36%, the highest level since last September. After the data was released, spot gold had a short dip of more than $5 but quickly rebounded, with a short-term volatility of over $10.

Remark:
The CPI report released on March 14 is one of the final major reports from the Fed before the March meeting. Now, the Fed is presented with a stark choice: to prioritize the growing financial risks posed by the SVB collapse or inflation that remains above target. Just before the bank meltdown, Jerome Powell had set the table for reaccelerating rate hikes at a hearing. However, many economists now predict that the Fed will either stick with a modest rate hike or pause it altogether when it meets next week. So, is the Fed really going to pump the brakes?
