Per-Event Educational Context
FOMC Meeting (Day 1 of 2)
- What it is: The Federal Open Market Committee convenes for its two-day monetary policy meeting. The decision and Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) will be released on September 16 at 2:00 PM ET.
- Why it matters: According to Reuters, this is "the first SEP meeting under Warsh's chairmanship with a live hike" — meaning market participants are pricing a real possibility of a rate increase. This makes the meeting particularly significant for USD volatility. FXIFY notes this is a "live hike" scenario, which historically amplifies market reactions.
- Markets to watch: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and gold (XAU/USD) typically see elevated volatility during FOMC weeks.

Trader's Checklist for Today — English
✅ Review your exposure ahead of Wednesday's FOMC decision — this is a "live hike" meeting, so USD volatility is expected to be elevated ✅ Expect spreads to widen significantly during the FOMC announcement and press conference on Wednesday, September 16 ✅ Consider reducing position sizes or tightening stops ahead of high-impact events later this week ✅ Verify your broker's margin requirements for holding positions through the FOMC announcement ✅ Review the US Retail Sales data scheduled for tomorrow (September 15) — it could set the tone before the Fed decision ✅ Check for any unscheduled central bank commentary or geopolitical headlines that could shift sentiment
