President Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve, praising him as potentially one of the best Fed Chairmen.

Fed: Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated

This article explores the relationship between the "January Effect" and market volatility during midterm election years, analyzing the market operating patterns before and after elections. Traders measure the "election premium" through the implied volatility of major index options. Although the impact of the January Effect has diminished, midterm election years bring unique market dynamics, with the average gains in January and February during midterm election years over the past 20 years being only 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively

- Traders analyze implied volatility of major index options to gauge "election premiums," noting a rise in uncertainty in the stock options market.  
- The January effect, characterized by significant price increases in January, has weakened since the 1980s, influenced by factors like tax-loss selling and investor psychology.  
- Historical data shows that stock markets often decline before midterm elections, presenting buying opportunities, while post-election periods typically yield strong market performance.

What happens when the January effect meets the midterm elections?

The Federal Reserve's primary goals are to maintain stable prices and maximize employment. Since 2021, the Fed has focused on combating inflation, which surged due to fiscal policies. Initially, they allowed inflation to rise to support employment but shifted back to controlling inflation in 2022. The Fed's informal target is around 2%, but recent data suggests they are aiming for a 3% inflation target. This indicates a new above-target inflation regime, attributed to the Fed's monetary policies, which have resulted in persistent inflation above 2%.

- The Federal Reserve is tasked with maintaining stable prices and maximizing employment, focusing on inflation control since 2021 due to rising prices linked to fiscal policies.  
- Following a period of high inflation, the Fed began raising interest rates in 2022, aiming for a long-term inflation target of around 2%, although data suggests a current target closer to 3%.  
- The persistence of above-target inflation reflects the effects of the Fed's monetary policies, indicating a shift to a new inflation regime.

What Is The Fed's Real Inflation Target?

The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain interest rates at 3.50-3.75% and adopt a neutral stance, awaiting more data for future adjustments. Fed Chair Powell's press conference will be crucial, with potential discussions on his term until 2028 and the implications of recent legal challenges. Market expectations indicate a 98% probability of no rate change today, with easing anticipated by year-end. Speculation surrounds Trump's potential announcement of a new Fed chair, which could impact market reactions, particularly if Powell signals his intention to stay.
