The FOMC interest rate decision is due at 2:15 ET in the US tomorrow ( Wednesday, Jan. 27th ). Also more than a few economic numbers ahead of the announcement.

FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.

If you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market.

FOMC minutes came out and may provide some clues until December monthly unemployment numbers.

Here is a summary from our friends at TradeTheNews.com ( free trial here):

US) Preview

: Fed Minutes from Oct 27-28 FOMC Meeting due at 14:00 ET (19:00 GMT)At its late October meeting the FOMC decided against rate liftoff again. They did, however, remove language about international developments impeding a rate hike decision after they had used worries about the global economy as an excuse to refrain from rate action in September. To help justify the decision to not raise in October, the committee noted that the pace of job gains had slowed.

The key phrase that Fed-watchers latched on to was a specific reference to the “next meeting” as being live for a rate hike decision: “In determining whether it will be appropriate to raise the target range at its next meeting, the Committee will assess progress–both realized and expected–toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation.”

Hello Traders,

FOMC came out today without much change from previous language.

Many times the true reaction to FOMC is the next day. I have seen that more than a few times in the past.

If pattern of last few meetings hold, we may see a bit more of a rally before turning around late Thursday or Friday….but then again, past performance is not indicative of future results….

Plan your trade, trade your plan. Don’t forget money management can be more important than the actual buy or sell signals etc…
