Weekly Watchlist 09/15/25
Stocks break out to all time highs ahead of anticipated rate cut at FOMC meeting next week
Market Recap
The major indices pushed to new all-time highs this week, and it was also an opportunitic trading week, with many individual stocks seeing huge moves.
On the macro front, PPI came in cooler Wednesday and CPI was neutral Thursday, keeping inflation concerns in check. This fueled a rally into next week’s widely anticipated Fed rate decision (FOMC Wednesday). Futures are currently pricing in a 93% probability of a 25bps cut and a 7% probability of a 50bps cut.
As highlighted by Carson Research, rate cuts have historically been bullish when the S&P 500 is at record highs. That said, traders should watch for short-term volatility or profit-taking into the announcement, with the potential for a modest “sell the news” reaction before the broader uptrend resumes.
